The last blog post was in February and I remember that excitement over something cool that I'd found. But I find mself focused now on matters of the heart. We found out that mom had a tumor on her kidney the day we all returned from Mexico for our spring break trip. What a devastating blow that was. I spent the next 4 weeks trying to make up for lost time, and spending every spare moment enjoying moms company. It's a shame that it takes something tragic to awaken us some times. It's not that we hadn't seen each other or tried to spend time together, but. . . Well life gets in the way sometimes. Anywho...
Mom had her surgery on Wednesday the 23rd, what an interesting time for us. We had so many people praying for us some that are close friends and some that are just concerned people with good hearts. In either case, those prayers were felt as mom was calm. Everything went well and she is already home and recovering. The tumor was cancerous. Renal cell carcinoma. Stage II, she probably won't have to have any further treatment.
Time is so precious, and there have been several instances that have made me aware of this fact. I am trying to change and do the things that matter most and some how the things that have to get down just get done.
I am thankful for all of my family and friends that have been so supportive and the kindness they have shared has meant the world to me.
Garrison is finished with baseball, Tanner is finished with golf and Jarom, Karli and Cal are in the middle of little league. Jarom leaves for sea camp tomorrow and he returns saturday. I hope he has a terrific time.
I am thankful for all of the blessings we have been given and that heavenly father has allowed us to have mom with us for a while longer. I love her.
