Life is Playing Hardball

Why does life sometimes blast at you?  Instead of throwing you an easy little softball, it throws hard and fast.   Not just one wedding this summer, but three.  Three!  Not just my dad a little sick, but WHAMO!  Oh, he actually has a broken vertebrae, and Oh, he actually has myeloma, a type of cancer that softens his bones and means he has to have chemotherapy treatments for four months.  And BAM!  This week is our awesome hike into Havasupai Falls in the Grand Canyon, but gee, it happens to be the middle of a heat wave in the west!  Right now I don't even want to go on the trip.  It doesn't sound fun anymore.  A vacation would be for me to stay home.  What a crazy game life can be.
