Disconnect

Be back on Monday. While yes, there has been a lot of interesting news and tidbits I've come across yesterday and today already.
Had a family member lose their fight with cancer Wed night. Since it's something I work with and am surrounded by on a daily basis, it almost feels worse. I know more than ever how difficult, undiscerning and awful cancer is. So since I can't attend the funeral, I've just been throwing myself into work. Even though many days I don't realize the magnitude of what I and others do at the American Cancer Society- now more than ever I know that what I do, in a very small sense, helps people. And while it may sound silly, that's what makes me feel better in a horrible situation such as the one I'm in.

Hopefully I'll be back on Monday, ready to give you my unsolicited viewpoints :)
