Today Scott and I went out for a little while so we could have a more private discussion. About things no parents should ever have to talk about in regards to their children.
Brian is no longer a minor and we need to accept his decisions even if we don't agree with them.
In the next few weeks he will be making decisions that are of the most importance...not ones like should I drink or smoke, not ones about what type of condom to use, but ones like Advance Directives, about if he's going to take the advice of the oncologists and go to transplant.
It's important that to provide Brian the best support in his decision making, that we the parents have already had those discussions.
Of course, we HAVE already discussed these things 10 years ago. This was a private discussion to make sure we are still on the same page.
We are now ready to have this discussion with Brian and Stephanie.
Wow, as a parent I can now officially say that I would have been way happier to hear about an unplanned pregnancy or a drunken debacle...those issues are so infinitely unimportant in the light of the current situation facing us.
Scott and I have been married 25 years this last past December...we sure never envisioned our future this way, but it sure has made us stronger.
It snowed another few inches today, it looks like that will boost our total for the weekend to about 30". I do SO love snow....we got these really cool snow pellets today, looks like little Styrofoam balls covering everything. Of course Brian being very concerned with the environment didn't like the Styrofoam reference, so I think he and Stephanie decided they were unflavored dip n dots...they stuck all over the dogs, though since Chibi is white, you didn't really notice them on him. He just did his little cold dog dance....
