WEEK 14 ~ APRIL 2-8, 2015

Dad was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (Large B-Cell) and the doctors shared that statistics showed it was a treatable cancer. Medicine was given to break down the tumour and tests were ongoing to make sure he was ready for treatment. Dad wanted the comforts of home but knew he needed the medical care in the hospital...The biggest challenge for him was being in London, away from friends and family, whose fellowship he longed for.

Easter gave the family a chance to visit Mom and Dad, as well as each other and we were reminded that it's often in dark times that we lean more on each other. Trying to find a gem in the midst of our trial, we saw that the cousins had the opportunity to visit each other more often, get reacquainted and we have been blessed to see their friendships grow stronger.

Claire, Carsten, Savannah  and Olivia had a great time delivering chocolate to Oma and all the ladies in her unit. Oma LOVES chocolate and so did many of the ladies.

Kim and I are always excited to see Christian movies come to theatres near us and we had "Do You Believe?" on our calendars to go see when it came out. After a visit with Mom, we watched the movie and we were left with 2 questions,

"DO YOU BELIEVE?"

"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT?"

To add a little more to our week, I slipped on some ice and fell hard in the parking lot on the way into the nursing home and twisted my knee and ankle again...feels like my knee may never be the same. Savannah also got sick and was down and out for a day...Never a dull moment around here it seems.
