Cathy is scheduled for her deviated septum surgery tomorrow but she is suffering from significant medical issues today that includes a UTI and maybe other issues. So I'm suspecting that her surgery will be delayed for a time. Hopefully we'll find out more today. That poor girl has really suffered from various medical issues but she continues to be a magnificent wife, mother and grandmother. Sometimes I can't help looking forward to spending eternity with her. In the mean time our life is pretty good. Many blessings.

Note the quote below from Sister Oscarson who, incidentally, is the wife of one of my missionary companions, Paul Oscarson.

Come Follow Me 

D&C 126:1 Dear and well-beloved brother, Brigham Young, verily thus saith the Lord unto you: My servant Brigham, it is no more required at your hand to leave your family as in times past, for your offering is acceptable to me.

2 I have seen your labor and toil in journeyings for my name.

3 I therefore command you to send my word abroad, and take especial care of your family from this time, henceforth and forever. Amen.

" Remember that some of the greatest needs may be those right in front of you. Begin your service in your own homes and within your own families. These are the relationships that can be eternal. Even if—and maybe especially if—your family situation is less than perfect, you can find ways to serve, lift, and strengthen. Begin where you are, love them as they are, and prepare for the family you want to have in the future."
