My Mom


My Mom....Honestly is one of the most fantastic people I know. With out a doubt, the most kind and caring. With having Madilyn, I am more and more thankful for the time she spent with me growing up and how she helped raise me.

The saying "bad things happen to good people" is very appropriate here. I really just shake my head sometimes thinking of all of this. I would obviously never wish hardship onto anyone, it's still frustrating when it's happening to someone so wonderful and worse when it's your Mom.

Most of you know that my Mom was in a terrible car accident two and a half years ago. When she was having all sorts of tests the first day she was in the hospital, a CAT Scan showed that she has a rather large tumor in the back of her head. Later tests showed another smaller tumor towards the base of the brain, near the brainstem. They were both determined to be benign in nature and at that time nothing really to be concerned with, as they may have been there for many years. In the recent months tests have show that there has been growth to the point that the larger of the two must totally be removed and part of the smaller. My Mom is scheduled for brain surgery on June 13th, downtown at Spectrum.

We know that the factuality at Spectrum is fantastic and have a great deal faith, but I have a huge belief in the power of prayer. When we almost lost Madilyn in those first couple of weeks of her life, the power of prayer played a huge part in her healing as well as our comfort. So, that is what I ask of you now.

Please keep my Mom and Dad in your thoughts and prayers as they enter this frightening time. As strong as they are, it's going to get scary so the more pray'n the better!! :)

Wow...it is true that bad things happen to the best of people. I learned that really fast almost 6 years ago through Austin's Dad.

Your Mom means the world to both of us. We will definitely pray with all our mights now (before), during, and after her surgery. We know she would do the same for us! She's such a tough bird...she'll just breeze through this hard time!

Suzanne, if you happen to read this (oh, who am I kidding...I know you're a major blogger reader!!), please know that you will be in our thoughts and prayers!! We love you so much, and we'll see you on Sunday for some serious hugs!!!

Suzanne - you truly are one of the most sincere, sweet and caring woman that we know. You have been in our prayers since we heard of the surgery. You are an amazing woman and this too is just another obstacle that you will overcome.
We love you - keep smiling that beautiful smile.
