My turn to write

Well, I thought I might try my hand at this techno stuff. Tiffany is the keeper of this blog but today I snuck in and thought I would add a note or two. First let me tell everyone that I am so proud of my wife. Tiffany has made being pregnant a wonderful thing. Rarely does she complain, and when she does it is over such small stuff that it's funny. She is so healthy and happy. I am so lucky to have her in my life. She is a joy to watch during this pregnancy as she always finds the most positive things out of the most toughest of circumstances. She is beautiful, vibrant and so full of life. Roman is so lucky to have her as his mom.
Now as many of you know, my dad....uncle Mike is living in the Veteran's home located in Sandusky Ohio. This past weekend he had his eyes operated on to remove nasty cataracts. I took him back to Detroit for the surgery, and then returned him to his home today. I have to tell you, the complexities of Mike are incredible. I could write a book, but I don't think anyone would read it. Having full control over his financial and medical has allowed me to uncover YEARS of history that no one ever knew. He led an amazing life, albeit he has nothing to show for it. Even his memories are fading away. I don't know how I keep going uncovering the things i shouldn't uncover. "What a tangled web we weave".......well you get the picture. I do it for my mom, who is the greatest woman I know. And for my dad who is full of pride and deserves the best care possible. He tried and failed, but at least he tried. he was a good man. The good lord has handed me the biggest test in my life so far, and all I can say is that all that has happened with my dad will make me a better father and a better husband........ I think I am passing that test.
I will keep you informed on my dad, please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
The baby shower is around the corner so every free moment is doing something in this house for the party, I wish we would have had it off-site as it probably would have been cheaper. I am so excited as usually the only time I ever used "BABY" in a sentence was in a cheesy pick up line. But now...WOW! I am going to be a dad, and I promise I will be a good dad at that! I hope to see all of you at the shower, if not then for the baptism sometime in June. Love to all....Roman's daddy, Jim
