Now! today I got a call that my sister "his wife" has been diagnosed with colon cancer... I have such a deep pit in my stomach, wonder how much we can all take!! Our family has been threw so much in the past few years... I don't think we can take much more... It seems we loose a member at least once a year... I wonder when it will end... When we are all gone? I just don't under stand...

Dear Sam, our prayers are with you and yours...we cannot do more than be here for you when you need us and you must believe that each one of us is here to listen and give you a hug when you feel the need to just talk to someone, there is always a "cute" here somewhere...certainly not a happy way to start your new year, that wicked "C" is ever present it seems and each of us is being faced with the loss of family and friends faster than we wish. Perhaps I am not saying this as it is in my heart but I feel for you and understand having just lost a very dear friend and brother-in-law...we cannot ever know why, but can only go on with the thought that the man upstairs has his reasons...take care and try to be strong...hugs xxxx

I am so sorry about this news, I don't remember exactly how this saying goes, but it is something like Life is not about not having storms, but to learn to dance under the rain...Do you understand what I mean by this? That is what I am doing too...dancing under the rain.****

I was told that God does not give us more than we can stand - we have to hope that is true. Life is not easy, and when a loved on is hurting we all hurt. Try to keep your faith, and we will be praying for you and your family.

OH Sam, life is never easy is it - especially when a loved one is suffering - but we never really know why these things happen - but please get on your knee's and ask God to come into your life and the lifes of your loved ones - stay close to Him - He will guide you - and trust what He is doing for them and with them. Please do this for you and for them.

Just remember GOD doesn't give us more than we can handle..also remember we are here for you to share in all things. I will say a prayer for you to have strength and a prayer for your family to hold together through it all. I too have been hit hard in the "C" area. We have lost alot of both family sides. We draw closer to GOD and rely on each other for strength...God will hold you in his hands if you just ask for his help...Love Prayer and Blessings to you...Deanna
