Long Way From Home

I've led a charmed life so far. I know it. Things have come easy. Even the hard stuff.
I was poor enough to never be labeled rich. I was rich enough to never be hungry.
My family has come through time scratch-free and healthy.
I've been given great gifts and talents by God. So have my sisters and brother.

So why do I feel so out-matched now? In the face of my greatest adversity, I am trying to find strength. I've found a lot today, just by letting go and crying a lot. Tomorrow I'll put the tears aside and begin a long journey with Alison. A journey back to health.

She's been diagnosed with Neuroendocrine Tumors. The cancer is in her lymph nodes and bones. I am completely helpless, save providing my love. I love her so much sometimes that I can feel it change me inside, just thinking about it.

I promise you this, dear, that I'll be beside you in your every step.

The questions are many, the answers are few. We're going through many tests. I'll keep everyone posted...
