Sunday evening

I haven't written for so long!  Life honestly continues to be challenging.  My headaches are staying manageable but stress had caused more frequent severe headaches that knock me out for the day.  Life is just so difficult!  I pray that the Lord will return very soon!  :)

Our kids are making progress slowly but we are moving in the right direction.  It may not appear that way to others, but we can see those little steps at home.  It is so hard to have some think that we are spoiling our kids and not being firm but I have really learned that unless you walk in another persons shoes it is best to be careful with strong opinions and advice.  Oh, that can hurt sometimes!

We had very bad news this week that my dad has colon cancer.  Further testing is being done to determine the stage and treatments that will be necessary.  So hard once again.  His health has been up and down quite a bit the last while.  This cancer may have been around a while because they suspected a problem already when he had the stent put in at the first of the year but delayed checking it because of his heart issues and medication required there.

Thank you for continued prayers for our family.  It seems like there is just once challenge after another.  Right now I feel like I could sleep for three days straight because I am so very exhausted.  All these things for a healthy person would be challenging but my body is just not nearly there so sometimes it feels impossible.
