2005: Joy, guilt, stress, and grief...
Joy: My son Evan was born.
Guilt: Evan's birth defects have caused my wife and I to (misguidedly) blame ourselves and to harbor un-needed guilt.
Stress: Insurance wants to push Evan out of the hospital where he is receiving NECESSARY care.... Thank God the hospital is fighting right alongside us. Also, my work has had me travel every week that I could possibly travel since Evan's birth.
Grief: My cousin David died in a skiing accident 10 days ago. Although I didn't know him as well as I might have, due to distance and family strife, his death came as a complete surprise. Has me contemplating my own mortality a lot lately. *sigh*
