More Chemo

Alex is through 2 more (5 day) rounds of chemo. He's spent 23 of the last 30 days in hospital. He got home yesterday. How happy the simple pleasures make him. Today he got outside for awhile. His leg is weak again but he gets around with crutches. he even took Lexie on the wheeler.. he sounds alive again.
The girls are so happy to have mom and dad home and life somewhat normal again.
People's generosity continues to surprise us. They have not had to worry financially at all!!!
Our eyes have been opened to people's kindness and God's faithfullness.

I can't imagine

I can't imagine life without Alex. I believe he will be an old man when his time comes to go on into eternity.
Tonight as the house quiets, I feel lonesome for mom, dad and Mitch. But especially for mom. But we are all thankful that they left us before this all started happening.
It was good to have a bean and scallop meal. Eleven of us crowded around the kitchen tables and laughed together as we ate the old favorite. It's good to have Amy home for a while. Her job keeps her so far away most of the time.
Julie, Matt, Riley and I made snow tunnels and slid this afternoon. It feels good to do the simple things again.
We all enjoyed the grandchildren's after supper dance show. Even grampy hopped around a little.

Cancer in Lungs

Our sons cancer is back.7 tumors in both lungs. He's started his chemo again but this time there's little hope for him. He's 33 with a wife and 3 beautiful girls.Life hands us some rotten things to swallow.
I really don't think I can watch him go through this. The strenght will come with the day, but somethings ripping away.
