Just got back from Sunday dinner - dad is doing okay. He started finally feeling a little bit better yesterday and he was able to make it to church. He said he thought because the blood thinner medicine had seemed to be helping him he would try a cheese coney - he paid for it later of course:)

He said today that he doesn't have any desire to eat which isn't good - he needs to pack on the pounds. I think with the full chemo dosage we are getting to see what it is really going to be like. When he was only getting 1/4 of the dosage his sound effects weren't too bad but now they are. We have this week off so we will see how he does. I know on Sunday evenings he is exhausted, I know he loves all of us over but especially when it rains and we are all stuck inside it can get pretty crazy - especially with the majority being boys. So I am sure by the time we leave he is grateful.

It is amazing how some people have faith and others don't - I guess you just always assume everyone has some type of faith, but I can understand why people don't. I know there are days and sometimes it seems a lot lately, but there are many moments when I don't have faith, and I just blame him for everything that is going on right now in our lives and in my life. I try to be good and do what is right for him to reward and enrich my life and yet it seems like it doesn't happen and others they just have that lucky streak for them at all times and they may not even have faith. So is it really faith and following God that brings us our just rewards - he is the one in charge of our life right? Or is just simple luck and good karma that really bring us our just rewards.

I am glad the "Seniors" had a great time on their trip, but as dad said to one of his friends at church on Saturday evening - "Well I am sure they didn't have that much fun because I wasn't there" :)..... And he wonders where Sean gets the idea that he is the "Party in the Can".....

I hope everyone has a great week and the weather turns around.

Much love to all,
