that January 26th day....

My Daddy
was
diagnosed with
PROSTATE CANCER....

that word again
CANCER


You can look at him
and never SEE
that he could be
SICK

BUT

that is what it does...
It's the silent
ONE.

IT comes and
robs you of your JOY.


My DADDY
loves to have all his family
around him

ALWAYS HAS....

On March 5, 2012
Dr. Vipul Patel
and his amazing team
went after DAD's cancer

TODAY, as we understand it
he is CANCER-FREE

HE is healing

RECOVERING



WE ALL want to continue
in our place with him...

TO HELP HIM
through
the next day,

or WEEKS,

MONTHS,

or YEARS


To ENCOURAGE
our DADDY

by the LOVE
that is
HIS FAMILY

HIS WIFE of 52 years,

HIS DAUGHTER of 49 1/2 years,

HIS SON of 48 years,

and the many grandchildren who love
their grandparents...



 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O LORD.

You hem me in--behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

 If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body.

All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

 Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

  1. I believe these are some of my favorite pictures of my parents. It's hard to realize they have been together practically their whole lives. I can't imagine one without the other.... love them so very much.
