peek-a-boo
I'm really bad about remembering to come in here and post. Heck, I'm bad about remembering to post ANYWHERE, however I wanted to come back and give y'all an update.
I was in last summer asking for hugs for the wee boy of a friend and for another friend, both who were going through cancer treatments. Well, I'm ecstatic to report that the wee boy is such a trooper! He's finished with his treatments and is doing GREAT! His poor momma was having a really hard time of it because her job kept her traveling, so she had to work through the worst of it. His big sister, who really isn't that old, was also having a tough time understanding why baby brother was getting all the attention and why Momma was such a basket case.
Fortunately, Momma was surrounded by friends (including my sister who kept me updated) and family who more than pitched in to make sure that husband and daughter were well loved. Still, it is an incredible relief to know that wee boy is up and around and acting a complete terror once again.
My other friend has come through his chemo and radiation after experiencing some incredible lows. It's strange, but he had ended up with a type of cancer that, as a life-long non-smoker/non-drinker, he NEVER should have had, but he did, and now he's through it. Thank goodness. Of course, now he's getting funny results in other cancer-related tests, but I know his doctors will find that they're over-reacting and he'll be back on the job in another month.
I can't thank this group enough for all the hugs and prayers they offered up. I do believe that it helped.
Despite my complete lack of posting, you have all been in my thoughts and I know good things will happen for you.

My prayers are that they both continue to thrive and experience the love and support that helped them through.
