What’s Happening Today – Sept. 30, 2016

Today on DelmarvaLife:

A few weeks ago, we told you about Lori and Dave Brown of Laurel – the married couple both battling cancer. Dave was receiving treatment in Chicago and Wednesday night, he returned home. He was welcomed by friends, family, and his dog who threw him a surprise welcome home party. Dave is home for six weeks and then will return to Chicago for a CAT scan.

When it comes time to decide who will take care of your children while you are working is probably one of the toughest decisions you’ll make.
