When things get tough, be thankful that you get to try again tomorrow.
-Eric Gilseth
This statement could not be anymore true.
Tonight while at the Bleachers concert with Beth, Nikki and Kay. our friend, Leah, was at the hospital saying goodbye to her older brother, Eric.
Eric has been battling cancer for the past few years and this weekend, while away with the family on a vacation at their favorite cabin resort, his body had endured too much.
He needed to be flown to the U and within a few days, his fight was over.
I could never say enough about the type of guy that Eric was.
I was so inspired by him and his story and yet I had only met him once.
No doubt this has been a hard year so far. A few weeks ago I lost a coworker of mine, Sara Totino, to a horrible accident (that she suffered while at her daughter's wedding reception).
It's been a constant flow of bad news and bummer situations and although there are a million things to be thankful for, it's hard to feel 'happy' about anything right now. Of course I feel thankful, but it's just hard to feel happy. It's just been too much too fast.
