Hostile Territory

I'm not quite sure but tonight might be a tipping point for our family and not in a good way.

Both of us have been running on fumes (cindy even more so) since Sam's surgery and the evening was winding down.  We finally laid down to get some rest and out of the blue, we're woken up by Sam trying to throw up and gasping for air. Frantically we run around the house seeking buckets and towels.  We finally got the situation under control but the price we had to pay was losing what little sanity we both had left.  I could see it in Cindy's eyes.  Her heart was breaking and there was little I could do to stop it.

On top of all of this, both of us are still dealing with our own health issues, work schedules, and everything else life wants to throw at us.  It's tonight though that we're both feeling disconnected and very, very alone.


I have to be honest, we miss our family and our long time friends dearly.  Virginia just feels cold and hostile anymore.
