Well, I have been away again for a bit, and I WILL get back into it, I just need to clear my head space again for a bit.
On January 28, 2014, Mom (Russ' mom) was rushed to the hospital. She had clotting and internal bleeding and had to have her leg amputated. In the span of 3 months, she had 4 surgeries, including taking out the massive tumors in her colon. She was diagnosed with cancer, and in the same areas as Russ. She fought just over a year, but on March 2, 2015, she joined her husband and son up in heaven. This has brought up a lot of pain for the boys and I, so we covet your prayers as we go through this again.
We will stamp again, I can promise you that, and hopefully within the next couple weeks !
Sending thoughts and prayers your way. Even when it is expected, the loss of a loved one is very difficult. May the happy memories comfort you at this time.

Sorry for your loss, but happy for her gain.
Much easier dealing with your loss when you know you will see her again some day. May you and the boys feel God's presence to help you in the coming days. Sending a hug and a prayer.

I'm so sorry for your loss. It sounds like she really suffered those last 3 months. I hope you do what makes you happy. I lost my mother Feb 20th a month ago. I find I'm tired a lot. Prayers for you and the boys.
