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.

Off to Atlanta

We've been getting ready for our first trip to Atlanta. Mommy and Daddy will fly out tomorrow morning. We'll be travelling all day with one connection. The sitting with legs down and little room to shift positions will make it rough on Mommy. We've borrowed (indefinitely) a manual wheelchair. We'll take it with us so Mommy won't have to walk too much as well as the cane for when she is walking. It will make for interesting travels.

The girls will be with Grandma M, so they will be well taken care of.

Our friend Genia was here this past week to help out. We harvested quite a bit from the garden including 5 huge pumpkins. And we left two more pumpkins that weren't quite ripe in the garden. Mommy hopes to be able to work with the girls on making some pumpkin pie or pumpkin bread from one of the pumpkins and maybe even roasting some pumpkin seeds. We've been too busy the last few days, so it hasn't happened yet. It was great to see Genia and her help was tremendous. Thanks Genia!

You are in my thoughts and prayers. I haven't been visiting blogs lately due to my personal situation, so I was shocked and saddened to read about the als diagnosis. I will let my Sara know what is happening, so she can pray for you, too. She remembers when we all met here in Ohio (was that two or three years ago?) Praying for all of you. . .

We will certainly pray that you have a safe, "uneventful", trip. I will especially pray for comfort during your flight! He is able to make all grace abound to you!!
