Waiting is the Hardest Part

I think it was Tom Petty that sang that song! And he’s right waiting is the hardest part!
So we are patiently or truth be told impatiently waiting for our travel date. They tell us soon, but after almost three years soon has become a very relative term. We have been keeping busy; I’ve been getting Marjada’s room ready and doing Christmas shopping for the whole family as it looks like I may not be here.

Lucky’s cancer is back and that was a very hard thing to swallow because the cancer he has is aggressive and just the thought of not being here for him in his last days is so hard. Amazingly MSU called to ask if we would put him in a study where they pay for everything and try a new chemo drug on him. So I took him to Lansing a couple of weeks ago and so far so good, he’s responding well and it looks like he will at least stay healthy while we are gone. There is no cure but I think we can stress a little less while we are gone.

One last thing, we are going to put a lock on our blog for the next few months. For those of you that are friends, family and fellow adoptive friends we ask that you please continue to follow us, we need your thoughts, encouragement and most importantly your prayers. We just feel as though we need to protect some of the sensitive information that we want to share with you from the entire world. We hope you understand. If you find yourself locked out just send me an e-mail and I’ll make sure you get an invite!

I hope to be sharing a travel date soon!
