Package Deals

A lot of life is a package deal. We had children. One of them had a child and now we have a grandchild. Package deal.

Part of the grandparent package is showing up sideline to be amazed at t-ball games and soccer matches. It's pretty cool since the Grandparent Package of Supportive Sportsmanship doesn't come with the obligations of getting them to practice and the juggling feats of family life. We show up and Joshua thinks we're the best just for being there.

Being married can be a package deal too. When I married Kevin some wonderful friends of his came with the package, like a present within a present. Among them are Fred and Sue. We had dinner with Fred and Sue after Josh's soccer match.

Sue has been this incredible source of information about diet and alternative medicine which might help Kevin. Sue is a dietician with a keen interest in natural health and alternatives to chemical medicines. Nothing far out that we would do without the knowledge of Kev's doctors but things that might help with chemotherapy side effects without adding additional new side effects.

Fred and Sue have their own experience with cancer. Fred has been treated for cancer and is currently in ongoing follow-up treatment. So they have a lot to share with us and we appreciate all the helpful things we've learned through them.

Sue has given me some great ideas for making our meals healathier while accomodating my aversion to all things vegetable. Dinner tasted great even after she revealed the hidden health benefits of it! Another package deal.

There are hidden gems to be found bundled within package deals.
