Aunt Kitty and Uncle Dave

I shared a few weeks ago about my beloved Aunt Kitty being diagnosed with cancer. What started in her lung (go figure since she isn't and never was a smoker) spread to her bones and brain before they even found it.

Now, without a special touch from The Great Healer, she may only have a few months with us on this Earth. The brain tumors are the greatest cause for concern, and they are inoperable.


She is a brave fighter, and is tackling this disease with a positive attitude. She told me that like Hezekiah in the Old Testament, she's asking God for fifteen more years.


Uncle Dave is the best "home health-care nurse" on the planet!!!


We're a family who love jig saw puzzles, so we got one started yesterday. Aunt Kitty and I have done LOTS of these together over the years. It was quite a bit farther along than this by the time we headed home this morning.


Radiation and chemo have started to make her hair fall out. She is facing balding with a smile - - - and a cute little hat. Too bad I didn't get a picture of that!!! The Radiologist told her all her hair would be gone in a day or two.
