My family is very resilient. I often forget this, but this past weekend I was reminded how quickly we can mobilize to respond to a crisis.
The scenario: Chris is already "deployed" to Buffalo, NY (yes, I know it is the middle of the winter and she is reporting the ever increasing snow fall being dumped on her). She is assisting family embroiled in a long-term health battle by providing assistance and comic relief. And then, Sunday--with no warning, we developed another crisis right here in Maryland. Somehow, I wound up in the role of first responder--but by the end of the day, when the situation had calmed, everyone had played a part in helping the situation. The immediate crisis has passed, but the long-term implications are still being explored.
And so--to my family.
Independent--yet connected.
Ready to help out at a moments notice--but also willing to allow everyone to have space.
Most important--caring.
And that is how we roll.
