I have no idea if Jake reads these or not, but having read both his and his wife's blogs over the last month or two, right after our youngest was (finally) given the all clear for Leukemia: It is astoundingly hard to read these, having been through something similar (child, not partner). I tried to keep a blog of our experiences, and... it was one of the most difficult things I've ever done. I quietly shuttered it about halfway through, when we had some setbacks and I couldn't bear to write anything. I'm not sure if I should thank you for posting or not; these posts are both intensely personal and very public I think. I can say that I truly hope they help you and you wife as you work through this. There is a sentiment shared at a retirement or funeral in the Navy (my chosen career): Fair Winds and Following Seas. We have the watch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhwZwHaE5JE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhwZwHaE5JE I hope there is someone to take whatever it is you consider your "watch" in life.
