Security

 Sadie knows all about security...for her it is falling asleep with her feet near mine and not caring that your ear is folded over. 


Far Guy's only sister Jan is very ill.  She is in the hospital and has been diagnosed with Leptomeningeal Carcinoma.   It is a very rare form of cancer that can occur after metastatic breast cancer.  Jan went through chemotherapy for breast cancer during the pandemic.  Survival for this kind of cancer is usually a few weeks to a few months.  Please keep Jan, her husband, daughter, son in law and Far Guy in your prayers.   It is very hard news to get.  Jan called to say goodbye to Far Guy and told him she would see him in heaven.  Jan and Ron live in Southern Indiana.  When we know what the plan is for her care  Far Guy may want to visit her.  

One day at a time.  Jan is secure knowing where she is headed.   It is the rest of us that need to embrace her calm acceptance of the diagnosis. 

"In my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare a place for you."  John 14:2

I am so sorry for all of you. That is a hard pill to swallow. i will for su re pray for all of you. It is always the ones left behind who have the hardest time dealing with the prognosis.
The first thing I thought of when I saw Sadie was the ear bent over...too cute. You guys are sure going to miss her when you go back home but by then the weather will be better for traveling so you can visit back and forth. I wish you peace this weekend and always.

The love of a puppy is shown in many ways.
As is a person's love for someone they don't even know. Love to all and hugs.
