When it rains it pours ... I guess

Yesterday our truck decided to break down as my FI was on his way home from the bank. Perfect just what we need to put more money into it. Its like a bottomless pit. So we had it towed to a shop down the street. Turns out the fuel pump was broken. He had a spare one that he had bought for his sisters car but it didnt fit. Luckily it fit ours. So he took it to the shop this morning and they fixed it. But there went $300.

So then we were sitting eating lunch when MIL calls to find out what SS wants for Christmas so she can go do her shopping. So FI talks to her and tells her a few ideas. They talk a little more. After FI gets off the phone with his mom he is just sitting there staring out the window and getting teared up. Now FI isnt a really emotional/sensitive guy so I knew that something was wrong. I asked him with no response what was wrong. So now I am crying cause Im scared of what he is going to tell me.

I sat there holding him for about 5 minutes when he finally told me what is wrong. His mom has cancer. She found out on Monday and told him today. He is the oldest of 4 and she doesnt want anyone else to know. Only FI, me and FIL until she gets more results.

She was very vague about it. From what I understand the drs arent saying what type of cancer it is but something with her Lymphnodes. They also dont know how far it has spread. All I know is she is having surgery on Wednesday and well know more from there.

I really am very scared for her. She is such a great woman. And I just keep praying that everything will be okay.

But really when is enough enough. When will our "bad luck" end. I feel like 2010 has been nothing but low blows thrown at us. Its been one thing after another. From everything with the baby, to financial stuff, to other family problems and now this. I dont want to bring religion into this. But I was brought up Catholic and through everything I have been trying to have faith and not lose that trust in God. But now it just seems so hopeless to me. Whats the point.

I am so ready for a new year and a fresh start with 2011.

Sorry I had to get this all out. I am sorry if some of it doesnt make sense Im still trying to process it all.

(((Hugs))) I am so sorry - that is a lot to deal with.  I don't blame you for questioning your faith - I did the same thing after losing Eliott.  And I agree with you - 2010 has been a horrible year...Bring on 2011!

I am so sorry you are going through all this.  I really hope 2011 is a much better year.  I hope the surgery for your MIL goes well and that the cancer has not spread.  I understand about it being hard to keep your trust in God, I am having the same problem.
