My Husband’s Kryptonite

My husband is brave. He’s tough. He’s not what I’d call a wimp. But just as Superman could be brought down by kryptonite, we all have our own personal kryptonite. For my husband, it is shots. Needles. Sharp pointy things that medical personnel have the strange notion that they need to poke you with.

I Am an Android

One of my sons was bemoaning the emotional roller-coaster that, in his mind, plagued the female race. From his male point of view, it didn’t make sense. Not one iota. My thought? — He obviously does not understand women! Having only brothers probably hasn’t helped. As he labored on, trying to make s

A First

We had a first today, but a bit of history first…. The doctors never have had really good news for us. Treatment after possible treatment has ended in failure. Our previous appointment showed more growth than seemed reasonable—considering during half of that time Matt had been on Afinitor. It didn’t

No News Is at Least Not Bad News

It’s often been said that “no news is good news.” You’ve had no word from us in a while regarding Matt’s health situation. And yes, it’s been good. Well, at least not bad. Matt continues to be the healthiest looking sick man I’ve ever met. We continue to be encouraged at his lack of pain, [...]

…and April is gone!

Have you ever had a month that came and went and you were left spinning your head wondering how it happened? That’s what this April was like for me. It seems like just yesterday I was flipping the calendar to begin April…and suddenly I’m flipping it again and we’re into May. Between the multiple res

The Stinky Visitor

Some days at work are more interesting than others. One Friday beat them all. It started out as any other Friday. Our much appreciated printer was spitting out the bulletins, folded and stapled, and ready to stuff with bulletin inserts. Everything was going well. No issues. I was having a good day.

The Upside to the Downside

Heading up to the Wilmot Cancer Center for an appointment with the oncologist has a downside. There’s the fact staring you in the face that they’re going to tell you some not-so-good news. It kind of goes with the territory when you’re talking about pancreatic cancer. At least that’s been our experi

Please do not take offense…

If I ever go to introduce you, and a blank look turned terrified crosses my face—you’ve guessed it, I’ve forgotten your name. Please, do not take offense!           I know. I’m sure there’s some written-in-stone requirement for former missionaries and current pastors’ wives to hold an outstanding gr

Tethered to Technology

When a server goes down and your business requires the internet, you feel it. A friend of mine just felt it. Acutely. Several days of crisis management—with a bit of anger management—were the results of a server gone down. It spawned a lot of comments on our dependence on technology. I found I agree

Love Is More than Flowers and Chocolate!

I was grocery shopping in Aldi yesterday afternoon. An elderly man was standing in line, flowers in hand. Nothing else. Just flowers. Presumably, flowers for his wife of many years. I could envision the love story behind this act. It was nearly his turn, when he suddenly stepped out, losing his plac
