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. Please find joy in what you read here.

Happy Thanksgiving

Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. We hope that you all are able to enjoy it with family and friends.

Daddy and Rebekah are both sick. So far Mommy and Sarah seem to be doing ok. We postponed Rebekah's scans for two weeks, so hopefully she'll be feeling better by then. Now that Rebekah is in school and around all the germs, she does seem to get sick pretty often. I guess we can't avoid it. We just have to take it a day at a time.

Tonight was a Candlelighters dinner at one of the local hospitals and Mommy went to help out. (We try to help out when we can and since Daddy was sick he couldn't go, but he watched the girls so Mommy could.) Anyway, there are a number of families that expected to be in the hospital tomorrow, too. If you think of it, say a prayer for the families that have loved ones in the hospital over the holiday. They could use an extra thought or two. It can be difficult and isolating. They are on my heart tonight.

We are thankful for many things - family, friends, a loving and caring God who watches over us and provides for our needs, a child who has been cancer free for 21 months, dealing with everyday colds and flus and not having to make sure Rebekah doesn't get it, girls who like to have fun and play games, etc...
