Since last Wednesday I have been in my hometown. My parents were required to go to Idaho to visit my Aunt. She happens to be in the hospital with cancer. Many of my family members have died of cancer. Looks like one more is going to be taken. Although I do continue to pray, I haven't lost hope, and hopefully neither have my folks. I have to be in my hometown because my Grandmother needs taking care of. You see, she has to take like 10 pills a day and she can never keep them straight, or remember to take them at all. So I'm here taking care of her.

There comes a time in ones life where the young must start taking care of the old. My mom and I got in a car accident when I was three. I wasn't injured but a disc in her spine was crushed. She was in bed for a year after the surgery. She couldn't take care of me, and my father had to work. So enter my grandparents. They are the ones that took care of me. Now, in a way, I feel like I am repaying back the favor, even though I know that she didn't do it to get something in return. However, it makes me feel good just the same.

You know, we used to put Christmas lights on the house and put a Christmas tree up because it was mainly done for the kids. Moreover, since the kids (me, since I am the youngest and have grown up, but still the baby) are moved out of the house there isn't much point. However, I decided to cheer them up a bit and put the lights on the outside of the house again. (Although not crazy Christmas Lights, even though I want to figure out how some day.) Maybe it will make them feel better when they return.

It sort of puts the Christmas Spirit back in Christmas don't you think? Now if only we could put Christ back in Christmas. But I digress.
