It has been a very sad day for me. The girls are still sick, Rick is out of town, and I received some very sad news today.
A very dear family to ours is going through a very difficult time. I have known this family for as long as I have known Rick and he has known them since he was very little. The father of the family has been diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer.
I have been doing a little research on the Internet and know that stage 3 is not good. It's not the worst, as stage 4 is, but it isn't good.
He has a large tumor that has to be shrunk before they can operate. He starts Chemo tomorrow. That in itself is a battle that has to be won. Once they shrink the tumor, they will operate to remove it. They will know more tomorrow as to if the cancer has spread. We are all praying it hasn't.
We all have had our scares with cancer. It isn't ever easy to deal with. It sucks!
I really am speechless. My heart aches for our friends. I feel as if it is happening to my own family. We really think of them as family. I don't know what to say or do, other than to let them know that we are praying for them.
So I'm asking anyone and everyone...please pray for this family. I believe that all prayers are heard and the more the better.

Hey Heather,
I have a coworker who was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer last year, and she is doing really really well. Stay positive, because that's all you can do. And please let me know if there is anything you need to talk about.
Love to Rick and the little ladies.
