What a crazy roller coaster ride life is these days for us. The last few weeks have been full of terrible news and nothing but doom and gloom. Today, us and my Aunt and Uncle met up with my dads oncologist to get the real story since we had so many doctors telling us all kinds of different things. Well, it was very optimistic and we are hoping to get another couple good years out of him. I'm so proud of my dad. I know that if I were him, I would give up...and maybe he has and is just putting up a front for all of us. He just has such a positive attitude and is willing to do everything the doctors are telling him. I realize that this is a long hard struggle and believe me when I say that there are not alot of things harder to do that to watch your parents suffer and to see that disgusting disease just eat away at them. It literally breaks your heart. Like I said, I'm very proud of him and I'm going to pray very hard for the better news to keep coming.

I'm reading your beautiful blog and I was thinking if you would like to work on your mom's garden I would love to help you! And although I'm no green thumb, my friend Amy is. We could pick a day and get other friends to help. What's better than playing in dirt and seeing beauty in it? Love you and praying! Nancy Gamache
ReplyDeleteNancy, thanks for being amazing! The saddest part is, no one lives there now. My dad is just not doing good and can no longer live alone so he is living with my gma. It really is only a matter of time and we have to sell it. That would have been wonderful though. I have plans to try to have something at my house that reminds me of her and to even take some of the angels and statues from her backyard. Thanks so much!! Love you!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see you going "Back Home" to where your memories are of your younger days. Taking some of the garden items sounds like a lovely idea. Making preparations to sell is wise but I know how hard these things can be. Just so happy your dad is in a positive mode & somewhere with someone who can care for him. You & Katie have enough going on. Think of you guys everyday. Love
ReplyDeleteYay for better news! We prayed in church today that it keeps coming! Stay positive Papa Rhodes! There are so many people praying for you.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I love you so much!
