This is a public "diary" of a family whose little girl started a battle with inoperable cancer in April 2005. In December 2007 our house burned down. And in September 2009 Mommy was diagnosed with a terminal disease (a genetic form of ALS) that took her to Heaven in July, 2011, leaving Daddy and two young girls to make it on their own. Over several years of ups and downs, you will get into our hearts, minds and souls as we share joys and sorrows. It can sometimes be very difficult to read. We hope it is also uplifting.

Trying To Get Off To The Hospital

Rebekah is doing really well and we are excited for that. We have had several days in a row of a chippy cheery girl who is playing with her sister, enjoying company and to the best of her ability enjoying life.

It's nice to actually have time to pack methodically compared to an emergency trip and just throwing everything in. Mommy has been able to pack each bag of clothes with exactly what she wanted in it. Daddy was able to pack his files one by one, knowing what has to be done on each as well as pack the fridge, food and other parts of the trailer just right. Goodness knows we are still forgetting something.

Yesterday friend Mindy, the official Banks Fire Department photographer came by to take a picture of us for the Christmas presentation she is doing.

Daddy feels a bit like he is letting the department down because he is not nearly as active as he likes to be. We hope they understand.

Mindy, after taking the pictures, asked if we had any limits how she uses them. We told her "Of course not." Then she asked very reluctantly, "What if Rebekah dies before then?" It really makes you think.

Just remember that everyone is praying hard that she succeeds in winning. A lot of prayers, thoughts, and hopes make a world of difference. You are a strong family fighting for love. Keep the faith!

Many prayers are surrounding your precious family and if God does call her home at least there will be pics to remind people that she was here, and to help us all take note of how fragile life is.

It's a thought a parent doesn't even want to think about, and I'm sure you do all the time. Many hugs to the beautiful family.

As you begin another week in the healing hands of man, I pray for the powerful presence of the loving hands of God as He continues to hold you all in the palm of his strong hands. God continue pouring out His grace,peace and mercy. God continue to give wisdom and discernment to every decision being made and may joy be deep and overflowing in your hearts.
