And They're Off

Yes, Aunty Margaret, you're right. September 10th was a typo.

Mom and Dad left today for Seattle by way of Vancouver Island. As ever, it's hard HARD HARD to say goodbye for four months, but we'll make it. I'd say "It'll be over before we know it," but that's just being silly. It'll drag by and nothing will feel quite right until they are home again.

So, as usual, we covet your prayers. Sometimes it's easier for us to push aside our fear and sadness and stress, but it's there and our family is under a great deal of strain. Cancer is so hard... SO hard, and it takes away so much from all of us. Please don't stop praying for us all through the months ahead, and of course, especially for my mom and dad. Pray that this transplant does what it's supposed to do so that we can be together again soon and well on the way to getting back to normal. (Or as close as our family can get. Heh heh.)

And Mom and Dad, in Ben's words, "I'm definitely going to miss you." Drive safe.

(On the up side, I'm pretty sure you will all be seeing a lot more in the way of blog posts over the next while... Although, most of mine will probably be about my kids...)
