September 15th

One year ago today, I got a phone call that would change my life forever. I will never forget it...like I know the exact stop light I was at. My dad was in the hospital...and in excruciating pain. My heart broke like I've never felt before. Within a week he had to have his kidney removed and we got the devastating news that it was cancer.

I guess they say time heals all wombs...I prefer to say God does. But, if anything this experience has taught me to cherish my family more than ever. I love them sooo much it hurts.

Fast forward to three days ago. It's back. I think this time hurts even more than the first call. So much I can't even think about it at the moment. I love my dad so much and I don't ever want him to be in a situation where he's scared, or hurt, or in any pain. I wish I could make it GO AWAY...forever! And to make matters worse, I live 283.5 miles away.

I write this today because I know people read it, and if you're reading this right now, please just say a little prayer for my dad.

Oh, and in case you didn't know...
