Blaine is on his way home to see his mother for the last time. She took a turn for the worse this last weekend, and is very near the end. He left early this morning and will return Sunday evening. She is a gentle soul who will certainly have a welcoming committee there to greet her as those on this side of the veil wave goodbye. We will miss her loving, kind, gentle spirit, and look forward to seeing what kind of mansion she is preparing for those she loves on the other side. God bless her, and God be with her till we meet again.
Fear not for Blaine, his white counts are high, so he is not at risk of infection right now as he travels, and should be back to continue chemo on time. This is his week off anyway, so he shouldn't miss any treatments. If he needs to, he will be fine. His blood counts look fantastic right now. His platelets and white counts have actually gone up these past two weeks! Obviously our good Lord has heard all of your faithful, loving prayers. Thank you soooo much. We love you, and are in your debt, and our Father's debt. If you ever need to know if prayer is effective, or wonder if your prayers are just words to the ceiling, wonder no more. Your prayers are heard and answered, and Blaine is living proof. You can call down the blessings of Heaven through your faith and prayers, and we hope you will all make daily prayer a pattern of life, as it will bring you so much comfort. It has for us. Thanks again, and God Bless .

My thoughts and love are sent to you all. Losing a parent / grandparent is a very deep ache. As always, much, much love.

My thoughts are with you and yours - Having the recent loss of Scarlett's mother has shown me how hard it to lose a parent.
ReplyDeleteMuch love coming from us, as well. I feel so badly for Blaine's Dad right now. How much can a man be asked to bear? Losing a wife and watching a son deal with cancer at the same time? Really? I'm going to think of him every time I even remotely consider that I'm having a bad day.

Thanks everyone. Blaine's Dad has had a lot to bear, but he's surrounded by grandchildren, and that certainly helps. His own children are also there as much as possible, and he knows Blaine's Mom is ready to go. Everyone near her says it's time. She's had a good life. She'll be missed.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about Blaine's mom. Perhaps she'll arrive just in time for the big celebration--Easter in heaven--Wow!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear Blaine is still doing so well. God is good. I hope Blaine will get to see Dani while he is out there. I'll bet it will do both of them a world of good to lay eyes on each other.
Much love to all. God bless.
