And Now For Something Completely Different...
So, not to bum out all 6 of my faithful readers...but I thought I would update you on some news we recently received...
I got a call from my Dad yesterday and he has been having hip pain for a few weeks...anyway, turns out he has a kidney stone, went for a MRI and they discovered an abdomen full of cancerous tumours. The doctors are giving him about a year to live....
Yesterday, I think I was in shock...like, is this a movie or something?? Anyway, seems it's not a movie, it's real life, and at the centre is this weird thought that my Dad is going to die. I mean, I always knew he was going to die..I just thought he'd be 80, not 55.
Anyway, that's my life today.
My Dad will be here for my sisters wedding in August....we'll have to make it one heck of a visit!
We're sad...but...I know where my HOPE comes from...and today, that's about all I have to cling to...

Michelle, I'm so sorry to hear about this news. I'm hoping for the best for you and your family in this difficult time.
Praying for your dad and the Fam
Seriously not what I was expecting when I logged on today.
I won't spout off to much Bible stuff, because I know you've heard it already. One line: I know where my hope comes from... that is the most important thing.
Love, thoughts and prayers to you and your family. God is still in the business of miracles the last time I checked! :) xx
Love you friend of my heart...
I'm so sorry to hear your news. It's not easy to watch a parent go thru something so tragic so young. Cling to the trust that you have that God is in control of everything that happens in your life. He will walk you thru. There is an upside to knowing in advance and preparing. You and your dad have the opportunity to say all that you need to say and he has time to get everything in order. I'm here for you!
