Round One, Almost Done

Blonde Bombshell Betty

Betty’s got a new ‘do now. =) Charlie sent me a text picture of her trying on different wigs, with one of the messages being, “I’m married to a blonde bombshell.” Heck, yeah!!

She ended up going with a short cut, though, which makes her look really similar to my mom – which I’m sure my mom loves and my aunt would not, as Mom is 11 years older than Betty. However, it’s no doubt they’re sisters.

She’s in her last session of radiation (I believe) this week, and she’ll fly back to Texas on March 5. She’ll stay there two weeks and then she and my other aunt will fly to Chicago for another round of treatments. It should take about a month, I believe, to see if the radiation has had an effect on the tumors in her brain.

The new 'do

Please continue to pray for her and for others that I know who are fighting with this disease. One friend from Bible study mentions her friend’s child, who is at St. Jude right now – and a friend of the child, who has lost his eye due to this awful, awful disease. My husband’s cousin’s father also was diagnosed with cancer and is undergoing treatment right now.

We live in a sin-filled world, but we know that this is not our home. God knows we’re hurting, and He knows this is not an easy place to live. That’s comforting to me, to know that I can cry out to our Abba Father, who hears and understands better than anyone else.
