  Just wanted to say Hi,   Haven't blogged for a while.   Think I will start with a question for those of you who have lost someone dear to you. What was the best thing that someone did for you early in your grieving process? For me I think it was the person who wrote to me to tell me a memory about my husband that I did not know.  He had taken photos at their wedding and had helped them be calm when they realized they had forgotten a detail.  It was so special to be reminded of this wonderful gift that he had for helping people relax. What's yours

The Journey

It's time to write again.  This is the blog that I used when Orin was sick.  The blog I used through my journey with cancer. The blog I sporadically used in between then and now.  I've been quilting, and grand-mothering and  starting a new marriage as a pastor's wife.  Now, I start another phase, as caregiver for my elderly mother.  My Blog title before was Therefore will not we fear... from Psalm 46.  Most of the time we didn't, but when we did, the blog title was there to remind me that God had it in the palm of his hand.  As I reflected on the title, I knew, that His Word was no less important and fear no less manageable, but I realized that a new title perhaps reflected the purpose and direction of my writings.

We saw Dr Mathew today for results of the scans done last week. We found out that God has had his hand on Orin in a very special way in the past month. Orin had a ct scan and a bone scan this time. The ct scan showed that there were no new lesions anywhere which was great although most of the ones that are there have grown in size ( not so great). The bone scan was done to be sure that there was no metastasis to the bone, which there wasnt ( good news). Now the miracle. The scan showed that when Orin fell on the ice on Jan 15th , he in fact had a hip fracture. It looked as if it might have been a crack at the end of the bone that wraps around the ball. Orin refused to have it xrayed (anybody recognize any family traits there???) looking back I believe God just gave us all that cold icy weather so that Orin would just stay in , sit in his chair and heal. The Dr told him that if it would have broken further he would have needed a complete hip replacement. So we are praisi...
