Thinking about his catalog, there are so many good titles that are appropriate in this case.<BR/><BR/>Starting with the obvious . . . .<BR/>""Doctor my Eyes" are deceiving me or are you just a "Pretender?" "These Days" seem all "sky blue and black", but "before the deluge" I need you to know that I expect to be "alive in this world" for a very long time.""<BR/><BR/>Even though we are "miles away" we are "hold(ing)on and hold(ing) out" all our prayers and sending you "lights and virtues". Pay attention to the "colors of the sun" and "take it easy".<BR/><BR/>"Ready or not" "take this rain" and find "some bridges" to carry you through this. Remember that you are "somebody's baby" and she expects you to be around for a very long time, as do your own babies.<BR/><BR/>O.K., I could go on and on, but I don't want you to vomit. Just know that we are keeping you in our thoughts, prayers, and hearts, and if wishes were butterflies you and your house would be covered.<BR/><BR/>I admire your sense of humor in the face of adversity, you lympho, you! <BR/><BR/>You, Nancy, and the kids have already faced one tough fight with tenacity, knowledge, and love, and it seems like you have the tools to fight a good fight again.<BR/><BR/>I think blogging about this battle is very courageous, and I'm sure it will be cathartic.<BR/><BR/>Even though we are across the country from you, please let us know if there is anything we can do you for you, Nancy, your Mom, or the kids.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/>Carla, Bill and HenryBaby Henry's Momhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17562108713915059104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340123762213710112.post-83122781261584081402008-04-30T19:00:00.000-07:002008-04-30T19:00:00.000-07:00Dan, Glad to see you are holding up well. Just remember, nothing can happen to you that is out of God's hands. Here is a Bible passage you might find encouraging;<BR/>Isa 43:1 But now, thus says the LORD, your Creator, O Jacob, And He who formed you, O Israel, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name; you are Mine! <BR/>Isa 43:2 "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. <BR/>Isa 43:3 "For I am the LORD your God, The Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I have given Egypt as your ransom, Cush and Seba in your place. <BR/>Isa 43:4 "Since you are precious in My sight, Since you are honored and I love you, I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life. <BR/>Isa 43:5 "Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your offspring from the east, And gather you from the west. <BR/>Isa 43:6 "I will say to the north, 'Give them up!' And to the south, 'Do not hold them back.' Bring My sons from afar And My daughters from the ends of the earth, <BR/>Isa 43:7 Everyone who is called by My name, And whom I have created for My glory, Whom I have formed, even whom I have made." <BR/><BR/>The Lord bless you and keep you.<BR/>Uncle BruceUncle Brucehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18229382360234964238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3340123762213710112.post-60911972801615480432008-04-30T14:39:00.000-07:002008-04-30T14:39:00.000-07:00It is great that you are alive and well today and tomorrow, and the next day, etc. <BR/><BR/>We are all thinking about you!<BR/><BR/>Uncle BillWilliamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06888519812744481401noreply@blogger.com
