I'm glad to read that your MIL is going to try surgery. I hope that the surgery will alleviate some of her pain, if not all of it after recovery.
It sounds like you've had a busy week all the way around. I'm sorry your son's team came in 11th, but at least they made it to Florida! I'm sure they've been getting a lot of rain down there the last few days. Hopefully it will clear up today for them to enjoy the rest of their trip.
As for your other son, I'm glad you were able to attend the state qualifier. It means a lot to him that one of his parents was there for him. I'm sure you are very proud of both your sons!
Be sure to find some time for you this weekend. You've been a very busy lady and will require some down time too. I'm keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
