Goodbye to Rad Treatments !!!

Just spoke with Angela at 1:50 p.m. and they are setting her up for her LAST radiation treatment at 2:00 p.m. - - THANK GOODNESS FOR THAT - - she is so very grateful to be through with this tedious part of her treatment and so looking forward to this weekend to celebrate Alex's 4th birthday.

Angela will go home after her treatment today and sleep for a few hours until her meds wear off and to get some rest before this weekend. She presented her treatment team at Mary Bird Perkins with a cake yesterday afternoon to express her appreciation for all their TLC.

Angela - you are an inspiration and example to all of us with your hard work in therapy and how far you have progressed in a short period of time !!!

Congratulations Angela.. You have so much to celebrate this weekend!!! I hope you enjoy every minute because you have worked so hard to get to today.

Reading some quotes from Mother Theresa, I came across this...she was so wise..

"Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin."

Enjoy the day!!

Love and thinking of you,

Hey,

As another weekend comes to a close, I hope you are filled with many celebrations and memories!!!

A little boy asked Santa what he did in the off-season. Santa replied,"Well, I do have three gardens."
The little boy asked Santa why he had three.
Santa chuckled and said," So I can ho,ho,ho!"

I am praying once again that when you meet with your doctors that you are at peace with the plan of treatment.

Wait for the Lord and He will make things right. Proverbs 20:22

I know he will make things right for you and your family.

Wishing you peace and rest.
Love and praying for you,
Lowry

Hope your Tuesday was terrific Angela!!!

I know you are getting stronger and stronger every day!!

One Day at a Time"

by Jeremy Camp

I took my life this far
One day at a time I will take this faith along "One Day At A Time"

One day at a time I will walk this road I've traveled so far
One day at a time well I know I will carry on
One day at a time I can see

All this hope I breathe is given by the hand that carries me
Until I'm complete and I'll take all I will
To understand this plan you have for me, for me


All we can do is take one day at a time and rest in HIM.

Love and praying for ya!!!
Lowry

What does Santa use when he goes fishing?
His north pole!

Hope your Wednesday was terrific!!!

I hope you are able to get a little of your strength back during this time with no treatment.

Why does Santa have 3 gardens?
So that he can hoe, hoe, hoe.

Wishing that your body is filled with the Christmas spirit.

Love and thinkin about ya!!!

I hope you are enjoying a little time with your family and celebrating your son's birthday.

Congratulations on completing radiation so far. Keep breaking it down into bite size pieces. One of my favorite sayings is

"How do you eat an elephant?.... One bite at a time."

Cancer is that elephant, so just keep munching!!!!

May blessings come your way today and always!

Congratulations Angela!!!
I too was going through the fight of my life this very same time of year, many many years ago(1989). The Bean family shared your diagnosis of cancer and asked if I wanted to reach out to you. I said absolutely.
My words to you are... Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible, and receives the impossible! Your faith is strong and will get you through this. There are times that we cancer patients become so fearful, that we beat ourselves up for thinking this way, where is our faith, we question ourselves. I learned through my days of fighting cancer that you can have doubt in your head but still have faith your heart. God hears your heart before He hears your words. I am praying my message of hope and comfort is consumed and absorbed into your every thoughts and every cell of your body.
God bless you and send His healing from above.

Hey Angela,

I hope you had a terrific birthday. I was thinking about you and sharing your story to whomever listened to me!!!

I will be in constant prayer for you tomorrow....
Heavenly Father, Healer of all Healers, comforter of all comforters, I pray to you this day that you lay your healing hand onto Angela during her MRI. Please remove anything in her body that is not from or made by you. I pray that during the MRI and the days after, that Angela, David and the rest of her family feel the peace that only you can send that surpasses all understanding.
In your name, I pray....AMEN.

Love and stormin heaven for you.

Me Again,,,

I was going to give you something to smile about since you are probably alittle anxious at this point in time....

Memories of a time long ago....I laugh everytime I think of this...

Do you remember when we had the smart idea to skip classes with Honie and we went to Mississippi (I think) to sunbathe??? Well, I was the smart one and put baby oil all over my fair complexion and got so sunburned!! I remember I was miserable in the dorm room and we went to Honie's house to try and help me out!!!

HEHE!!! Do you remember???

Love ya,
Lowry

Happy Moments- PRAISE GOD

Difficult Moments- SEEK GOD

Quite Moments-WORSHIP GOD

Painful Moments-TRUST GOD

Every Moment-THANK GOD

Thinking and Praying for you without ceasing!!!

Angela and David,
You are in our thoughts and prayers. We keep up-dated through David's family. Lucy gave me this web-site today. The children are precious. We saw them in Oct.
Lucy brought them over. I love Katherine's birthday pictures.

Keep trusting God One Day at a Time.

Love you,
