Shit man...bad news....times like these when words are hard to come by...be strong for each other....sometimes there are blessings hidden in our trials....sometimes they're just trials...either way hang in there....my thoughts are with you.
I am sorry to hear about your father in-law and your wife getting laid off. My stepdad (who, granted is 90 years old) was just diagnosed with prostate cancer. The doctors are giving him about six months. In all honesty, I just want him to be comfortable and at least enjoy them.
I am very much looking forward to an Obama victory in about a month.
