Uncertain futures

Well folks, it's not good news. My husband, Dave, has stage 4 colon cancer. It has been a very rough day. They will not remove the tumor until chemo has settled the rest of the cancer down, then they will consider removing the tumor. We are in total shock, obviously. Now the real work begins. The praying never stops. The true love of friends is revealed, and peace WILL fall over us all.

We thank ALL of you for your prayers and kindly thoughts, for being there. Now I MUST dig inside and find enough strength to help him through this, to carry him as he has carried me through all the hard times that have come before.

Right now it seems things are about to get crazy, so I will be pulling back from answering on this site. I will try to post updates as time permits, but please understand this is all so draining. We are SOOOOO touched by all of your support, you may never know what it really means to us. We ask that you keep praying for us, every prayer is heard.

God bless you all, safe journeys, everyone......
