Aching heart, burning eyes . . .

PET scan and biopsy results back today. Both have indicated that the sacral mass in Bob's wound is more cancer, and it's deep, in his pelvis. Right now, that's all we know, but I don't know what else there is to know, or want to know . . I feel I've come to the end of my journey with this blog, that it has more than outlived its purpose, has gone on far too long, without end, and I can't bear to write another entry. Between the immense weight of my heart and the blinding tears that have burned my eyes all day and into the evening, and the spinning, endless thoughts in my head, I'm exhausted and have finally run out of words. I honestly, simply, can no longer keep this up. Maybe, with tomorrow as a new day, I'll have changed my mind, or have found a ghost writer, but for now, I can hardly type through the tears and am having a really hard time making this one make any sense. I hope you understand . . .

Please continue to keep Bob in your prayers . . .

love! to all

Jen

  5. Ditto what Gwen said. Too wrong to believe after all of what you've already gone through. Carol

  6. There are no words, Jen, none. Only heartfelt prayers, and virtual ((HUGS)). Bob's name was upheld in prayer on Tuesday evening. Haven't been there in months, but went on Tuesday. Kit's blessing was this: "Gracious God, we trust you are doing infinitely more for them than we can ask or imagine."

    The love will never stop, nor will the prayers!

  8. Jen and Bob-
    My heart aches for both of you...I certainly agree, there are no words, other than, I am so very, very sorry! The thoughts and prayers will continue-I so wish there was more I could do. Neither of you are ever more than a thought away. Please know Les and I care deeply.

  16. Dear Jen and Bob,
    Soon I will be releasing all the angels that live in a big old trunk in our dining room. They always come out for the winter holidays, and I know they are becoming anxious. As I bring them out, one by one, I will speak to each individually and ask them to send all their healing energies to both of you. I know they will be thrilled! Usually they come out around Christmas time to decorate our home and look beautiful. They will be so happy to have some actual "work" to do. You should begin to feel their energies in a day or two!

    Much love to both of you, from Auntie Pat
