Hope for My friend

Today's blog is a prayer for my friend. A little over three years ago, she was diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer. After a year of surgeries and chemo, she was given the happy news of "remission" - a great word to someone with cancer.

Today she heard those horrible words that no cancer patient ever wants to hear. "It's back, we start chemotherapy immediately"...

My heart aches for her.

Soon after her initial diagnosis, we got our dog, Winnie. Her middle name is Hope, because the puppy pictures brought a smile to our friend. I gotta find a cute picture, something nice and send it to her right away.

She is looking for hope today....

D and S

These are the most wonderful and wondrous grandchildren in the world.... D is the a-typical teen. Straight A's, athletic, Christ-centered, and balanced. No selfishness. No silliness. Her mother did an amazing job- she did not marry my son until this girl was in adolescence! So her mother gets all the credit.

And then there is S. 20 months old... Sweet, unaffected, and all boy. Now I can give my son some credit, as he has my son's beautiful green/gray color eyes.

Yes- Grandma is all so happy. It was an amazing Easter, time with these kids!
