Life is not fun right now.

We just got back from a great weekend in Great Bend playing in the softball tournament we go to every Mother's Day weekend. Jenn has been doing this since we met and has never complained to me once about doing so. Every year for 8 years now. I try to let her know how much I appreciate it but I probably don't do it often enough or well enough. The guys I play with are like brothers. I have been going to this tournament with the same guys for 13 years now. This one was kind of special. One of my teammates had a heart attack a little over a month ago. He was told he wouldn't be playing in the tournament this year. In the big scope of things, that shouldn't be a big deal. It's just a weekend of softball. But not to us. It is more than that. He made the trip and we got through the weekend, won the tournament and for a few days it got our minds off what was coming this week...Jenn's surgery. Then I come back to my computer and there is an IM from another buddy on the team that he is back in the hospital tonight. Turns out he will have open-heart surgery tomorrow. A double-bypass. Sometimes life just feels like a whirlwind and there is nothing you can do about it.
