Nana and Ba-Ba pushed off to Florida today, returning home after spending a few weeks with us here. How incredible it was to have them with us. Though there was a few appointments they had here, hence the trip up, they still did so much more by working tirelessly over at our old house, fixing it up and making it much more presentable. This, all while Daddy was still sick of course. Mommy has been pretty busy lately, so it was good to have the amazing help here.
They arrived home safely this evening, so all is well and everyone is happy there. Daddy spent much of the day at work, and as you can imagine, we'll have to all get a good night's rest tonight: we've been up way too late the last couple nights, including Madison!
Speaking of farewells, we read today that Jackie Chan is retiring from action flicks. This is good, as he's 58 now, and should keep himself safe. Most actors half his age would opt to have a stunt person in his place, and yet this guy keeps on doing most of his own stunts. Why on earth is any of this important enough to put in this blog? I guess because it has to do with China: he's from China. Not only that, but we like the guy. One reason he said he was tired of action movies was because they were becoming too violent. This we can all agree on. Although movies like "The Avengers" had plenty of comic book violence, there are plenty of other movies that just cross too many lines. Jackie said he'd still be an actor, but it sounds like he's through with the stunts. So we'll keep seeing him here and there, which is good. In his honor, I think we'll pop in one of his old movies just for fun. Daddy was in the mood to see "The Forbidden Kingdom" again - that one has the Monkey King in it as a bonus!
We've had a busy few weeks. And with so many landmark occasions wiped away, the only thing that remains is Summer Xtreme. The behemoth event of planning has already been eating up my fellow employees' time, some of them actually living at the church lately. It's only a matter of time until Daddy joins the bandwagon. But not today. Or tomorrow for that matter. There's still a tiny bit of recovery to go. Even now, the stomach churns and reminds me there is still some healing to take place. It's been a month, hasn't it? I have to look at the calendar, but it's been pretty close to a month now. And yet still I put up with this? I have grown to pity quite a few people, but most especially my own wife. Mommy still endures with troubles from her cancer recovery. The radiation damage has altered her life, leaving Madison and Daddy with a daily prayer for her permanent healing. It's talked about little on this blog, and her battles are less frequent than they used to be - but sometimes they are epic. Some days she loses half the day, fighting with this thing. If only I or anyone else could take this from her. If only someone would take it from her...
