Here's a tribute to 'are you kiddin' me?!?'...
My husband came home from work and said that they had given him the month of March off...I mentioned his boss's cancer...he had been diagnosed with advanced bone cancer the year before and it was bad. He did all his treatments and just before I found out about mine, he had been tested and found out his cancer retreated entirely. I guess understanding completely what I was dealing with, he felt it important that hubs be at home with our family. It was an incredible surprise and a complete testament to the fact that there was still good people in the world. I was sooooo lucky to have my husband home for that month to help with the baby & the other 2 kids, to take care of me on days I was more tired and to help me from thinking too much. He really helped me to train my brain not to go to the ugly places that were unproductive in my healing process. It also helped my state of mind to have him be in a place he could rest and recharge. I knew he'd been in his own personal hell of fear, anger, and confusion but didn't want to put that off on me. We both needed that time together and I will be forever grateful to his place of employment cuz that's not just rare, it's next impossible to find that kind of support from a company!
