My beloved Calvin

One month ago we were told that Calvin had a very large brain tumor in the lower right lobe, it was so very near the spinal cord fluid that he had maybe 2 hours to live.
He went through brain surgery and like the wonderful loving person he has always been, came through with a smile on his face. He spent 3 weeks in ICU, went through a ton of tests, and finally they found the evil cancer hiding in his upper right lung. It was already attacking the liver as well.
He came home on Tuesday with the prognosis of 2 weeks to 2 months. He is very weak but oh so very happy that I kept my promise to bring him home. He is on hospice and being so cooperative.
I have found a new strength since he came home and find his love for me is stronger as mine is for him.
There has been many prayers for both from all around the world. We still need your prayers and do appreciate every one for this kindness.

Finally--RAIN!!!

Due to the storm, to be named Jerry, crossing Florida we received rain for 2 days. Part of the storm escaped and came to visit NE NC and are we ever thankful for that. The temps have lowered and sleeping has been peaceful. But there was a draw back, the rain saturated the phone box and knocked my ringer out. So I get e-mails saying "Call Me" .... The grass is starting to turn green again and will probably be back to normal by Sunday. We have another day of rain to go... The Ginger Lilies are happy and the birds are eating worms again. I guess all is right and I'm waiting patiently to call Michigan, for my brother is under going major surgery today. All prayers will be appreciated..
