Happy Mother's Day to all my special friends, family members and especially to my Mom! Brooke got her hair cut off this week. She wanted to grow it out and give it to kids with cancer. She had 10 inches cut off and donated it to "Locks of Love". We are so proud of her thoughtfulness. It is important to raise children to think of others and help others when they can. Another round of chemo down. That makes 5 out of 7 done. I am almost 1/2 way through. The usual week of not feeling well. I am down 20 lbs now. It is difficult to eat when your mouth always fells like you drank something hot and burnt the nerves. It is a weird, numb feeling that stays with you. I long for my normal life, as usual! I see my Oncologist tomorrow morning for my usual check up. I am still not feeling too well still , so my mom took the kids to church this morning. Jim is working. Please pray for us financially. We have had 4 of our rental houses come vacant and we need to get those houses sold or rented asap. It is difficult to stay afloat with those extra mortgages. Praise God for the economic stimulus payment we received this month from Uncle Sam to help with the payments. I am reminded of the verse in Jeremiah 29:11 " For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." I want to thank Dawn, Kim, Apryl, Jennifer, Candy and Mindy for the meals that you lovingly provided for our family this week! We really appreciate your generosity and sacrifice. May the Lord bless you abundantly!
