Bad news.....
Wednesday I just found out that my step father has Colon cancer, and they did surgery yesterday. Last night I got a call from my mother telling me that "it was bad". Now, my mother is an RN, so when she says bad, I think really bad. Apparently it has spread to his liver, but to what extent I'm not sure. All I know is they called in a specialist who is supposed to see him sometime today. What do I say? Do I just sit there and hold her hand? Am I suppose to cry? How upset should I feel? They have been together less than 8 years and while I know and care for him, I don't know what to feel. That is bad isn't it. I pray for him, and I know that God will do what is best for Jim. It's in his hands. Please pray for my mother and her husband through this hard time......

:( That is bad news. I don't know what I'd do.
You'll feel what you feel - and there is nothing wrong with that, whether it's good, bad, or indifferent. I wish you and your family peace, Pookie.

This is your Dad:
I just want for you to know that we continue to pray for Jim and for Joy. When we recieve bad news like that there is only one thing we can do...we must bring things down to the basics of life in the same way that God looks upon our lives. When ever I have faced death in different ways I have always been left with the basic reasons for why I am here, what I am doing, and where I should be going. It is never what I thought it would be when I first started out. We are on constant movement in this life. It is a part of the over-all plan that God gives us. We come from somewhere and we are all going somewhere else. Many times we don't understand it, and perhaps we don't want to accept it, but that does not make it less true. We were never created to stay here always, but to travel through this life on the way to a permenant place. If any one knows that in their heart right now jim does. That fact is that we have all been created to live forever more..it just depends on our choices as to how we shall spend that forever. I feel confident that your mother and Jim have dealt with that issue. When we have nothing else that we can do we simply stand with someone during a crisis. God has not forsaken Jim, and He will not neglect to see this through completely for the sake of your mom either. We stand with you in love and in prayer always. I am always there..just a breath away. So is God.
All my love DAD
