Thank you, thank you!

Wow!  I am SO humbly overwhelmed by the many responses our family has received after sharing my dad's news.  We have had countless emails, blog comments, FB comments, and phone calls.  While the truth still hurts, I (and the rest of my family) am so encouraged to know that many, many people are praying for my dad and family.  Thank you for your love and support.  It is priceless.

It's still hard to talk with any of my siblings or parents without crying, but there is a balm in talking with them and sharing with them.  The webcam helps bridge the miles and Skype is a blessing.  My youngest brother is "coincidentally" in Japan on business right now and was able to surprise Dad and Mom for a wonderfully timed visit.  He is always making us laugh, and this morning on Skype was no different, another healing balm.

 
If you are visiting our blog from the link my dad sent out, welcome!  Feel free to leave a comment.  I'll likely post updates from time to time, and maybe a fun picture here and there of the dad and grandpa that we love.
