I cut our sons slack R&R go camping fishing their mom has been in hospital pneumonia

I ramble lonely , My wife is doing a lot better on IV antibiotics she is getting stronger she has pneumonia . And our sons have been strong they worry we cannot visit her their mom. My wife was admitted last Monday and on the day she was admitted 9/14 these fine fellas stayed home completed cyber school obligations.I never had let school know hey their mom is in hospital the guys may not get their School work done they kept at it last week and this week ages 10-15-16 fine young men.

So today I cut the boys loose to go home to where I grew up western Pennsylvania Appalachia . And two of my brothers still live to go fishing and camping with their uncles and cousins. One reason is that cyber school is crashed it went down yesterday around 14:00 and is still not up today. I let school know this morning that the boys will be back attending cyber academy Tuesday and reason why the boys mom in hospital the principal was very nice and I scanned letter from my wife’s doctor.

So the boys and our middle daughter and her wife pulled out this morning. To go camping and fishing with my brothers I’m on animal watch I stayed behind. I gave the kids $ and my one debit card and the keys to the Tacoma. Helped them pack camping and fishing gear, I know they’re wound tight worrying I hugged them all and told them have a great time. Sitting on back porch with my chocolate Lab right paw I asked him think maybe we should order a Stromboli I got a thump thump tail wag. I called our one sons I phone see where they’re at they just got on I 80 up in milesburg Pennsylvania and he sounded happy I’ll take it I love happy. Let the stress go kiddos don’t worry all will be well. Now are dilemma here is should we order xtra cheese on Stromboli’s.
Update 13:00

I'm thinking Duncan puppy would hog their attention trying to keep up with him!

Stromboli with extra cheese sounds wonderful! I grew up in SE Pennsylvania and love stromboli. Haven't found anything like it where I live now.

You are a great dad to your human kids and the fur babies! Hang in there!

Nothing like being outdoors to sooth your boys’ souls. I know you are in good hands with Boog watching out for you. Let yourself relax a bit, your second in command will have your back.

your wife/and you, but it's smart for all to recharge their batteries during such difficult and trying times, after all, one must keep up their energy and strength too, and not make themselves sick either.

Best wishes to you and yours.

and give the dogs extra hugs, and maybe a little extra peanut butter sandwiches. Definitely extra cheese on the Stomboli.
