A post from Mom 11/22/11

I've been wanting to write something and let you know that all is going
well with me. I have been feeling good and enjoying doing normal things again.
I have been on several mini trips in the last couple months. I got to go to
Donna's with Edna and her daughter,my neice, Dayla. It was good to see Donna up and doing things, and see her hair coming in again!
Warren and I have made it to
Ocean Shores, and just recently went to Depoe Bay for a couple days. Our class
is planning a 50th reunion this summer. Karen Johnson and Nancy Suyat, Shirley
Beaber, Liz Powell, and Sandy Macomber came and we had our first planning
meeting here. It was fun to get together with them.In 2013, Warren and
I will celebrate our 50th anniversary! We are looking ahead, and planning a
trip to go to Hawaii to celebrate. Fifty years has sure gone by fast! It makes
you realize how short our lives really are, and how important it is to live it
well. It makes me think of one of my favorite Bible verses which says: " The
only thing that matters is expressing your faith through love." Gal.
5:6
I go back to Seattle on Monday, the 28th, for more testing, and we
will stay in Seattle as I have to see the Oncologist first thing on Tuesday.
I'm hoping and praying for a good report. I feel like it will be a positive
check up. I am so glad that I have a personal relationship with my God. I
don't know how anyone faces what I have been through without him. That is the
difference between religion, which is something you do over and over like taking
a shower, brushing your teeth religiously. Christianity is a personal relationship with Jesus through His spirit living inside of you, comforting, strengthening, and teaching you. I am not looking forward to this check up, but I'm not afraid to go.We will have some of our kids for Thanksgiving. Our children and grands come every other year for Thanksgiving to keep it even with the other side of their family. Brian's mom and Dad will be gone this year, so we get to have Kim and Brian, Brittain and Paris. Also Warren's mom, brother, Gary sister, Sherry, and her special guy Tom will be here. We always look forward to our family days. I
want to wish you all a most wonderful Thanksgiving. We are thankful that you
are a part of our lives. Love Ladeva

It is so good to see your post. You know that's still the first thing I check every morning. :-)
I am blessed by our every visit, phone call, and get-together.
God has truly worked miracles with your care. And you share his blessings with all your family and friends. I pray that all will feel his comfort as they deal with this terrible disease.
Love you, and looking forward to our special times together,hugs!
