I have survived cancer (I refuse to give it a capital C), twice now, as it turns out. I want you to know that I have been including you in my prayers, and have therefore been led to write this note. My bouts were with breast cancer, almost 10 years ago, and an ongoing battle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Chemo, and modern miracles of science have kept me in remission now for 5 years in that battle. Keep fighting, as you have. God gives us many fronts on which to fight this battle. First and foremost of course, is prayer, and then family and friends who know of our battles, and pray for us too. I enjoy your writings, musings, if you will, on life in Seward. Bill and I are returning this Friday, the 30, to celebrate Paul's 18th birthday, and enjoy life there, as God gives it to us.

Our Katie leaves today; the house will ring with silence!

Good luck with your worthy conundrum of the day - there is no wrong answer! H Mom

I hope your treatments continue well and that they don’t make you too sick – your body remembers what it is like to be well – and that is very good.

Good luck with your worthy conundrum of the day – there is no wrong answer!
