Claims

Randy called me today to tell me a story that he was told this week.  Stephanie, (best name in the world, if you ask me) from New World Systems had called Randy's boss, Craig, to ask about Caden.  They had been seeing the many, many claims coming in for his medical care.  Claims that stopped abruptly at the end of July.  She was calling to see how Caden was doing.

The way that Randy came across this job was serendipitous.  After many weeks of wondering, we found out on October 11 (Darwin's birthday.  We were headed to South Dakota to celebrate Tyson's) that he got the job.  October 31st, Randy headed down to Utah.  November 1st, I headed down to Utah while Randy drove up to Richland.  November 2nd, Darwin and Jackie carpooled with me up to Richland.  22 days from start to finish.  We moved into the perfect neighborhood/ward/schools, fell in love, bought our own home five doors down (which had us moving our family of 7 again just three months later), and have loved being here ever since.

Then it just-so happens that Caden gets cancer, gets flown to the best hospital around, with the number-one sarcoma doctor in the country.  Talk about destiny.  And through it all, New World Systems has been by our side.  Supporting us.  Always checking in with his progress.  And now this, wanting to know how things are going when the claims stop coming in.

One day Randy will retire (filthy rich, if he has anything to say about it) and we will live out our days without going to work every day.  He won't travel without me.  He won't have a boss.  Or a quota.  Heck, he won't have as many white shirts and ties.  But, what we will have is friends.  I am so grateful for New World Systems.  It's more than just a job.  It's a 'family' that I don't mind sharing Randy with.

Here's to hoping that Friday's news doesn't add any more claims!!  We check in at 11:45, Scans are at 12:45 & 1:15.  We meet with Sue at 2:30.  Fingers Crossed.
