attention diverted
I'd apologize for my long absence and the sudden interruption of the Tourney, but I imagine just about everyone reading is aware of the reason behind all that.
I'll admit to being plenty spooked by Krysta's hospital stay. I know its cliche, but I guess we're at that point where any ideas of invincibility start to fall away and mortality becomes slightly less abstract. The sudden shift in perspective, the narrowing of focus on your own life, that can accompany medical emergencies is extremely valuable, however. Certainly this is not how Krysta and I would have preferred to spend the weeks leading up to our first anniversary, but I believe its added a resonance to the celebration that we welcome.
Also welcome is the total outpouring of love and support from our families. It feels silly to separate friends and family in an instance like this, because so many of our friends here in L.A. have acted in ways just as loving as our parents and extended families would, if they were not so far away. We were excited about my sister moving out here, we just had no idea how fortuitous the timing would be, as she has been amazingly helpful in all of this. That, along with the parade of Krysta's family that has come through over the past couple of weeks has made this whole process a lot easier. We are really blessed in so many ways.
I'll try to get back to semi-regular blogging soon, although the Fictional President Tourney will probably get put on hold until later in the fall. Fair warning, my next post will almost certainly be about baseball.
