What a long week...looking forward to the weekend...

...this week and been especially long and tiring for my family...with another trip back to Spokane...because of the recent words we didn't want to hear "recurrent tumor". My Dad just completed his 2nd GammaKnife treatment and now we sit back and wait four more weeks...with fingers crossed....and LOTS of prayers that the radiation will kill of the cancer cells and kill this tumor so my Dad can stay with us. He is still fighting with everything he has...I can't even begin to image how he feels or what he's going through but he is the strongest person I know...you NEVER hear him complain...or want people to feel sorry for him...when he's having a good day he even is still getting out there and playing golf...I just finished this LO to document this weeks procedure...It's been almost 8 months since my Dad's diagnosis...it's still hard to say...My Dad has Brain Cancer....he was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage 4...given 15 months...he's fighting...he's a fighter...we are there for him every step of the way...

Ben's had a BUSY week as well...football started for him in August...and he is still going strong...with last Saturday's playoff win...meant they had late evening practices this week at the local highschool under the lights...preparing them for tomorrows playoff game against the undefeated Prosser Mustangs...so we will pack up and head to Prosser tomorrow. I think the boys have a real good shot at taking this game...GO RAIDERS!

Sunday...the entire family will be together to celebrate "our birthday". Mom is making "our" annual Birthday dinner...only Mona and her family will be missing...I wish everyone was going to be there...I think I will bring my computer with me and we can skype over dinner :) Have a great weekend!

Yes, it's been a long difficult journey for all of us.
He's very brave!
Hope the boys do well today.
A busy day tomorrow and wish we were all going to be together.

Wonderful LOs Renee' . . . I still can't bring myself to scrap these moments, only two LOs with our family (just the 5 of us) have I done TWICE! ;)
