Today my wife, my son and I are traveling to the Philippines. I wish this was a vacation but it isn’t. My brother-in-law is having a kidney transplant and my eldest niece will be the donor.

While I am comforted by the fact that I am accompanying my wife during this difficult journey, I am also worried because four of my children will be left behind. However, I’m fortunate that both of my sisters and my sister-in-law will take turns to watch my other four children.

After the operation, my wife will stay a litte longer to help her brother and niece recover from the operation. Either way you slice this I will miss somebody. I will miss my children terribly when I am in the Philippines and when I am back in the States, I will miss my wife.

On a different note, I will do my best to post as much as possible.

My next post will be in two days since it will take us one and half day to travel.
