December 2nd

I’m sorry it’s been awhile since the last post, and I’m doubly sorry for the unfortunate reason that I’m even writing this. Yesterday at dinner Gina and I found out that Olga Arkeedevna, who is in the hospital for TB, has cancer. I’m not sure how bad it is, or what kind it is, but I feel like that’s really beside the point right now. Three weeks ago, her sister was in the hospital with appendicitis and the doctors discovered that she had cancer too. All in all, it’s been a tragic few weeks here. I haven’t seen Olga Arkeedevna since she left for the hospital a week ago and it’s been a tough week here, with just the guys running the show. I’ve been doing the dishes and Gina’s been doing… well, everything else, but this house definitely isn’t the same without Olga Arkeedevna. Anyways, the time I usually spend writing this blog has been taken up with talking to Gina and running errands (he still has to go to work) but I hope you’ll forgive me. Please keep the whole family in your prayers.

  1. So sorry to hear about Olga Arkeedevna. Maybe the cancer was found early enough to do some good? I'll Keep her and her family in my prayers.

  2. You must be getting ready to head home. I hope you have a safe return trip. Too bad you have to leave with Olga Arkeedevna sick. I hope she improves.

    We are ready for the big game tomorrow.
    Go Army!
