Posted by Sue's daughter, KatieOn Friday February 10, 2012, at 1 pm, my mom lost her two year battle with lung cancer. When she was given her terminal diagnosis in September 2011, we were told she only had a few weeks left but she fought so hard that most people were shocked to hear she was so sick. On Monday February 6, 2012, she took a turn for the worse and thankfully all my siblings were able to be here for her last week.We spent our days and nights in my mom's bedroom with her, watching hom [..] > read more

I take an early morning bible class [..] > read more

No photos on todays blogspot. Will have the kids snap some soon. Yes, I'm on dexamethasone again...as well as lots of narcotics. I was meandering along in the sun wondering why my incision site hurt so much, not realizing that I had bone mets and horror!!!! brain mets.

I have a [..] > read more

I hate to admit that it's been so long since I've posted anything. Life has been exciting and full of busy-ness. My granddaughter Arleigh has been spending quite a bit of time at my now "child-proofed" house. She's almost 9 months old and is into eve > read more
