I am a lucky man. I have been blessed with such a wonderful family. Two of the sweetest spirits ever created! That's why it breaks my heart to be so far away. I feel like I have been transported into another dimension, torn from my real life. So, when I see pictures like this, I get a slight sense of how it would be to be with them, and a big blow to the heart on the reality of my location, 500 miles away. I guess I can use that to fuel a depression inside my spirit, or use it to fuel my intensity and determination to triumph in all my goals. Only one helps. One problem I have had lately is that Ian has been so sick. Illness after illness after illness. He looks like he never eats.....which, I guess, he really hasn't been. It has been really scary for me, and really trying on Meredith. He just won't get rid of that fever. And as his father, not being able to comfort him, makes me so sad. But, this has given me an opportunity to truly rely on the power of prayer. I don't think I have asked for Our Father to fill my void, quite like I have in the past few days. I hope Ian has felt him. Meredith, too. But like I said, I truly am a lucky man. For the beautiful family I have, and, really, for any of you who might be reading this, for whatever reason. It makes me so happy that you even care that much.

Lane what an awesome guy you are! The few times I am required to be away for work are nothing compared to what you are doing currently, and I can only say that I am truly amazed at your love and devotion for your family. You have always been the one to step up and be there for your mom and the rest of your family, so its certainly no surprise that you are doing the same for your own family now. Just wanted to stop in and let you know I was thinking about you. Let me know if there's something that Meg and I can do to help out Meredith while you're away. Love you bro. - Josh
