I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving which is next Thursday.
We're hosting 6 other family members, so we'll have at least 9 people at the house (6 adults and 3 kids).
Traditionally you eat a big turkey dinner, but since Thursday and Friday my wife is usually tired from chemo it's going to be more of a chili pot-luck, but there will definitely be plenty of food and Pumpkin Pie!
I'm also looking forward to Thanksgiving next week. We'll travel down to Southern CA to spend time with my family. My dad is also flying out from Ohio, it'll be nice to see him.
My sister and BIL live down there and just bought a stupid big house in Orange County. It'll be cool to see, as they very quickly outgrew their previous house once the second kid arrived.
Positive thoughts to your wife. Mine is in the midst of some concerning bloodwork and confusing diagnoses, we're hoping to get some clarity for her in the next few weeks.
Ugh. Waiting for test results is the worst. My wife getting the final "yeah, you have some cancer" was somehow relieving, because that meant we could start doing stuff to treat it instead of moping around not knowing what was in our future. Hopefully you learn something soon.
The moping and uncertainty is most definitely the hardest part.
