I just wanted to give you an update on my mom (Kathleen) for all those who are interested. Many of you know that she has been fighting Melanoma (the most agressive type of skin cancer)  through 2 major surgeries as well as interferon and radiation treatments. She is still having chemo treatments…3 days every three weeks. Next Tuesday she will start her next round. After that they may give her 6 weeks off. She is quite exhausted from it all. We appreciate your continued prayers.

I also have a prayer request for my Mother-in-Law, Arlene. She was diagnosed with Breast Cancer a couple weeks ago and is having surgery on Friday and then treatment to follow. If you could remember to pray for her, we would most appreciate it as well.

 Thanks so much for your support! We strongly believe in the power of prayer.

Just checking in to let you know that Benjamin’s appointment with the Cardiologist went really well. He was a very brave boy and the doctor was fabulous. We are so thankful that everything is fine! Thanks so much everyone for your concern!

It is April, right?! I’m not dreaming? LOL Didn’t we just have some nice balmy short weather a couple weeks ago?! This is the view out my front window this morning….and a photo of two of my guys waiting for the bus! I had to dig out the snowpants and boots…again! This IS South-Western Ontario…we are even way south of many parts of Michigan. I just can’t believe this is Easter weekend! Not quite as pretty as all those Texas Bluebonnet pics I’ve been seeing on some of the blogs! Please! Send some of that weather up here!

Just thought I’d give you all a little update on my mom. She just finished her second round of chemo this week and is doing well. She is exhausted but her spirits are really great and we are so thankful that the anit-nausea meds have worked really well for her. Thank you so much to all of you who are praying for her. I can’t express how much it means to me and my family. We strongly believe in the power of prayer.

Angel of Hope by Willow Tree

My good friend Lindsey sent me this beautiful Angel of Hope from Utah. I was so touched to receive this beautiful gift in the mail, I must confess, it brought tears to my eyes. Thanks so much Lindsey! I put it on a desk I have right in the middle of my house so that I can see it as I go about my day. Everytime I see it I am reminded of God’s goodness and think of my mom.
