Last night after I wrote my last post, I stayed up on the computer for a bit, then laid down to watch some Tivo recordings. I watched the interview of Elizabeth Edwards with Oprah. She said that whatever has happened with her husband’s extramarital affairs doesn’t affect her.
Although I disagree, I give her a lot of credit for taking that stance because she is also dealing with a terminal illness, cancer. She says the doctors don’t tell her how long she has to live. It could be one year or 10. The point is that she is diagnosed with something terminal. So she is focusing on her family and what she has built to attain that bubble of the “Edward’s family.” And most importantly, she is focused on her small children. That is admirable and it takes a lot of courage to take that stance.
If I were diagnosed with terminal cancer and at the same time find out that my husband was having an affair AND have small children to attend to, it really would be too much too bear. That is why I support her stance. Personally, I would leave the man. Who cares that they built a 23,000 sq. foot dream home three years ago. What good is a huge house if that house is filled with thoughts of betrayal? I’d rather be alone. (more…)
I got back from the vet around 7PM. I have been raining tears down my face for a couple of hours.Sparky has cancer. That is why he didn’t have energy. The x-rays show it already has spread to his heart and lungs, so it looks pretty bad. It is not related to his paw.
