Update on My Mama



{ my mama }

Those of you who are my Facebook friends have followed along
this past week, and have so generously offered
your prayers and kind words...you have no idea at all how much
comfort we have derived from these, so thank you and bless you all.

I have run the entire gamut of emotions the past few days...
fear, panic, grief, anxiety, confusion, compassion, gratitude,
and ultimately...hope.

She is scheduled for surgery Tuesday.
This is no minor thing, and she is extremely fragile.
There are no promises or guarantees,
but it's the best option we have.

I'm struggling to stay strong, but stay strong I must. She needs this from me.

So, please...if I could ask...
continue to pray.

With much, much love,
