Fisherman's Prayer: I pray that I may live to fish until my dying day. And when it comes to my last cast,I then most humbly pray, when in the Lord's great landing net and peacefully asleep that in His mercy I be judged BIG ENOUGH TO KEEP!

I have..what??

Well its taken me a few days to get back here. Why? Because I had to admit something to myself first. Here it goes. I have cancer! I found out on Wednesday last week. The first 2 days it didn't even sink in I dont know if I was just denying it or what. It wasnt until Friday at the hospital when I was getting ready for the second surgery that it sunk in I had cancer. Of course the nurses and Dr kept reminding me of it as well so maybe thats why it finally hit home. And now here I am preparing to go on a special diet for a few weeks in preparation for radiation. I have cancer! Even though I can say it and admit it now it still doesnt seem real. Will it ever? In a few months I can say I am a cancer survivor instead!

Blessed Be

It seems so unreal that something like Cancer can touch someone close to you. You always think it will be someone elses sister, or brother or husband never one of your own. You have handled this so incredibly that we can all learn a lesson from your positive attitude.
