Last Day in Ceil Blue

The smile on her face says it all...she is done with classes.  On to studying for the NCLEX!

Tree Growth

This tree was hit with freezing temperatures that it does not tolerate, and the branches died. However, as is noticeable, there are new branches coming in to replace the dead branches.  An object lesson for me~ I want to have strong roots that keep me alive, even through rough times. If I am knocked down, don't stay there~ get up and grow new branches.


I am the Vine, you are the branches...John 15:5

Passing Time...

Thanks to one of my bloggy friends, I had something to do yesterday while my son was getting a blood transfusion. How did she know I like this kind of word puzzles?  I think the Holy Spirit directed her to send it! Little blessings.

I am a Momcologist!!

“The depth of our knowledge of our child’s disease would keep any Oncologist on their toes.  From the moment the words are spoken, “Your child has cancer.” we learn what perspective really is.  We have gained a new appreciation of the mundane and rudimentary things in our lives.  Moments we never gave a second thought to, are now sacred and crystalline in their value.  Some of our friends fade away. People we never truly considered friends, become steady rocks in our lives.  Our fellow Childhood Cancer families sometimes mean more to us than our blood relatives.
I would gladly revoke my membership to this club, if I could.  Yet, I am constantly humbled and filled with love for the members of this club.  We understand each others lingo, quirks, fears and joys.  Through CaringBridge, CarePages, Blogs, Facebook, Email, and phone calls,

Another Friday Rolls Around

We have been home most of the week. I think I just vegetated, because I can't even remember what I have done.  Well, I know that I cooked some food because we had something to eat.  I remember shopping for groceries...but my memory fades after that.
Today it is time to clean house, and get ready for Sabbath.
Oh yes! Our family went out together~ the first time in 3 months.  We all had a good time together. So I guess my memory isn't so bad after all!  LOL!

Couldn't pass this friendly little fellow up~hanging out on a leaf

J begins another 2 weeks of chemo come Monday.  'Living' all we can before it comes.  He has been feeling pretty good~ we celebrate his good days.

I Smell Smoke!

We had all gone to bed. Some of the family was asleep until our daughter woke us up with the warning. The fan she uses to add circulation to her warm room had apparently  developed a short in the wiring, and was getting too hot. It did catch on fire, but luckily got it out quickly, and no harm done whew...

Does this appear to be burned?  Guess looks can be deceiving!

Awareness Month

September happens to be Childhood Cancer Awareness month.

It just so happens that we have a child with cancer.

This is the sign we saw in our clinic today as our son received his treatment....

We celebrate his good days!
