3/23/2017 Round two about to start!

Hi Family and Friends! I’m writing this evening with a heavy heart! PLEASE PRAY! Pray that Chris’ body can hang in there for this next round of chemo! Pray for the doctors and nurses that take care of him! Pray for our children that are so far away and can’t be here! Pray for my Mom-in-law! (I couldn’t ask for a better Mom-in-law by the way!) Pray that the chemo does what is suppose to do without hurting his other organs! Pray for our grandchildren that bring us so much joy! We love you Jackson! Amalia! Zoe! And Teddy!

So I’m trying to think of something lighter, funny, or cute! This lead me to spring and flowers! Chris loves flowers as you may know! He brings me flowers randomly, about once a month! We can’t have any parties at our home until at least the end of June so he has time to plant, weed and mulch, etc. We’ve had wedding and baby showers, birthday parties and barbecues! Flowers galore! He has been known to load up his truck with every planter that can be moved and deliver them to a party that one of our family or friends is having. Helping to make their yard/party as pretty as ours.

We have two fig trees in our yard. We love the figs they grow. Every late summer/early fall we can hardly wait to enjoy our figs. After the first frost the leaves on our fig trees begin to fall off. Chris has been losing weight. Before winter we bend the trees to the ground and cover them to protect them from our cold winters! Chris’ disease has bent him down, we cover him with as much love and prayer that we can. Before Mother’s Day we uncover our fig trees. They are bare and bent over. Chemo will make Chris thin and broken. The son will warm our tree, buds will pop out. Chris will get stronger, he will begin to bloom. The fruit on our fig tree will begin to grow! We will again enjoy our wonderful figs. Chris and I will be standing by our beautiful fig trees enjoying each other and our delicious figs very soon!
