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
