UPDATE Spring Summer 2020 Backstory
My wife Sandy's sister is a flight attendant and unknowing contracted Covid19 and spread it to Sandy. I later developed the symptoms and Sandy and her mother both tested positive which lead to a hospital stay and a later transfer to a rehab facility in the Covid section for her mother.
Sandy and I went through a detox program and were able to rid ourselves of symptoms with only a couple weeks of down time.
While Sandy's mother was in the rehab facility my middle daughter informed me my ex-father-inlaw (her grandfather) had a fall and was not doing well and was going into home hospice care.
UPDATE 9-9-20 Sandy's mother has been in a rehab facility for the last 3 weeks and we got the news today that she has taken a turn for the worse and will be sent back home on Friday for hospice care so the family can say their goodbyes so we will be unavailable for at least the next week to 10 days.
We got the call later in the day with a request to have immediate family come in Thursday morning to meet with her Dr. from Rush for an update and to make decisions since she is nearing the end.
At that meeting it was decided to bring her home Thursday so she could be comfortable and have family with her as she comes to the end of her journey here on earth so it was a very busy day that started again early Friday morning and I expect will continue all weekend because visits are no longer limited to 1 at a time or 15 minute maximums.
She was glad to be home and happy to see a parade of family and friends come to visit physically and via video calls. By Saturday morning she became less responsive and passed peacefully 12:36 AM Sunday with her 2 Daughters and first Granddaughter present.
Ironically my ex-father-in-law Joe passed away at 12;04 a.m. Sunday. (Grandparents day)
Both services are set for Wednesday 1 Morning and afternoon the other afternoon and evening. (it will be another long day)
It was a long day Wednesday and now we can begin the clean-up process.
So it looks like sometime late next week before I can do much of anything but I'm not the one that wants to build a team or take on new Clients.
The only reason we are recruiting is to provide an opportunity for new Associates to build teams and take on new Clients so if you are willing to step up and help out let me know. I need someone to contact some of the respondents for Recruiter, and Associate and set up a couple of Q&A & on boarding sessions I will facilitate.
Time has always been tight due to demand for what we do but for the last few years it has been impossible for Sandy and I.
Sandy's mother who is elderly, has OCD, Parkinson's, Stage 4 Cancer, and can no longer be on her own so Sandy & I are her primary caregivers so one of us can always be with her affecting our availability and ability to communicate reliably or timely.
We are praying with her new treatments she stays with us long enough to move into the new house we were planning on building.
We put the plans to build the house on hold until after Sandy has her next spinal surgery and has her back injury under control from her work accident in 2014 which we are hoping is before fall of 2020.
Now more than ever before it is imperative you get on the Anchor A Team or B Team before it's too late to gain first hand insight without taking years to develop it yourself.
This business is not meant to be all 'self serve' but while we are sorting things out go ahead and get yourself started we have a lot of material you need to catch up on, and we'll catch up with you as soon as we can. We hope you appreciate the need to be with family before business.
