I have been kind of MIA lately. I've become a lurker so it seems, checking out the other blogs and forums that I used to frequent many times a day, now I lurk yet the prayers are the same. I am so happy to see so many travel calls and referrals lately!
A lot has been going on in our lives, but nothing is more important than the devestating news we received a week ago. My Mother in law has a mass on her lung and needs surgery and chemo. We are devestated. The good news is that it has not spread yet, it is operatable, and as long as the Pet scan on Thursday is clean, the doctor actually used the word "cured". My Mother in law never smoked, exercises regularly and eats healthy. She is probably one of the most healthy people I know. Her stamina is endless.
I always ask "why" when these things happen, and while I will never know an exact reason, I can see that this has already changed my family in so many ways. I have found the admiration that I have for my mother in law all over again. I realize the reasons that my children adore her again. I have time to reflect and appreciate all that she has done for us as a family, and me as a person. I have had the time to appreciate my husband just a little bit more. I have had the time to hug him just a little bit tighter, to love him just a little bit deeper. I have had seen my children's love for their Grandmother through the years, yet maybe because I am looking for it, it looks like it is getting deeper as the time goes on. My mother in law has a lot of life left to life. Four children that need her and nine grandchildren that need her even more. She has so many friends and family that need her. I need her. And I know she is a fighter. She has the drive to LIVE and the desire to fight this.
Please please pray for Judi. We need her in our journey in life. My children need her.
