Waiting...

It seems like all our lives are spent waiting for something...when we're children we can't wait to become a teenager, then we can't wait to get our driver's license, then we can't wait until we graduate from highschool and go on to college or get out on or own for a career, then we can't wait until we meet that special someone and settle down to married life, then we can't wait until we have children....then, things settle into a groove for a while, but the next thing you know...you can't wait until YOUR children settle down and have little grandchildren for you...see, always waiting to see what will happen next. Sometimes the anticipation is worth it, and sometimes it's not. If you have been reading my sister's blog you know that my mother was just diagnosed with non-Hodgekin's Lymphoma. We are now all waiting for all the test results and the recommended treatment program. I think this is the most difficult waiting time of my life!! One minute I tell myself that the waiting will be the hardest part of all this, then I realize that this is just the beginning...I know there are many of you out there that know what I'm talking about. You've already been through this with a loved one. You know exactly how it feels and most of you know how much we have to rely on God to get us through this time. Please pray for our family...especially for Mom...as we go through the next few weeks finding out exactly what we're dealing with and learning how to cope with it. Tim and I are driving to PA right now to be with her for the weekend and I can hardly wait to get there!
