Emily is having surgery this week, so we will be taking a month or so off as she recovers. But before we leave for our break, we wanted to take this time to chat about preparing for "big" things in life (like surgery, for example). Though we can't always prepare for things in life, does it provide us with some peace to at least try? Support the show Find and connect with us on Faceb...

20's, 30's 40's, 50's....it's easy to have certain perceptions of these age milestones before we hit them. And there can be times where we can truly say "age is just a number".
