2009

Ok, so I was wondering if we can hurry up this first part of 2009! They say things happen in 3's and we have had some challenges already this year. I am hoping they will just happen quickly so we can get on with it. First, Tanya has had some challenges and needed to be put back on track with her recovery. That was very hard for me to realize again that things do not nor will not happen the way we want them to. What someone else struggles with sometimes is not what we all can understand and everyones struggles are different. We just found out a week ago that Brent's youngest sister Pam has recently been diagnosed with stage 3 colon cancer she is 36 years old. Brent had a brother that had a malignant brain tumor and went through chemo treatments, so cancer is not new to them. Jeff was in remission the year Brent and I was dating (1992) and suffered a seizure at the wheel of his car. The result of the accident was his death. Jeff was 27! You know not every one of us is gonna end up with cancer, but I realize that we all have our own cancers they just come in different forms, whether we are fighting an addiction, cancer, financial struggles, employment problems, sickness, etc. We all have a huge fight before us and I am so glad that we have God to get us through. I have learned in the past year more so than ever that during those struggles our trust and faith just gets stronger. So to everyone and their cancers God Bless You and may you have faith it will work out the way God wants it to.

Nicely put, thank you. I believe dealing with these cancers is easier if you have the understanding you do prior to experiencing the cancers. Did that make sense?!
