Family comes first...or does it?

This weekend you and I went to visit Grandma Colleen and Grandpa Bud.  Grandpa Bud was in the hospital for the 2nd time this week...he had fluid taken off of his knee about three weeks ago and it got infected.  Sunday night they did surgery and cleaned out the infection.  But, they apparently didn't get it all and Grandpa Bud had to go back Thursday and they did another surgery to get more infection.  We mostly went down because I wanted to make sure, for myself, that Grandpa Bud was okay.  We aren't used to him being in the hospital!

As we were driving there and back I had some time to think.  I want you to know and hope that you will learn how important family is and just how wonderful your family is.  But, does family always come first?  I used to think so but now I don't.   You have to love and respect yourself and being willing to take care of yourself before you can love, respect and take care of your family.  Always remember that Dylan.  Love, respect and care for yourself first.  It's not selfish.  It's making sure you are all right so you are there to love, respect and care for your family!
