I can't believe it's been 5 months since I last posted. It's all for good reasons -- Daddy has been doing so well that sometimes I forget he was so sick. Just wanted to put a quick note on the blog for anyone who still reads this so you can celebrate with us. Daddy had a scan recently and he got the results on Fri. (which, by the way, was my parents' 39th anniversary!). The surgeon said he looks GREAT and he doesn't need to see him for 6 mo. Praise God!
I still get nervous around the time of his scans. Pancreatic cancer is such a horrible disease, and my dad, by God's grace, really has defied the odds. This time 2 years ago, I was sure that it would be my last Christmas with my dad, but I get to sit next to him next week at the Christmas Eve service for the third time since his diagnosis. Christmas for me has taken on new meaning in the past few years and I treasure this time to focus on and teach my children about Hope in the One who transcends all our sufferings, fears, and pain. Merry Christmas to all of you from our family!
Your dad's story still makes me cry! I am so happy he is still doing so well -- and I love seeing you all sit together at church. What a blessing he is to so many!
