Prayers for John and for you. We do not understand the trials in life that come our way. So don't try to figure it out. Just trust Him. Let Him carry this burden for you. His strength is made perfect in OUR WEAKNESS!!! So be still and know that He is God. Sending you a hug this morning with my prayers.
Praying for you and your hero today.
Prayers for John and you and your whole family. You have been in my thoughts so often.

Thanks for the update on John Diana, I'll check the Caring Bridge site. The first treatment is always a bit scary as it's a it's the unknown but so many went through it. He'll be OK.

My thoughts are with you and John today.
I have been ill myself and not reading blogs so I was not up to date. I hope that everything goes well!

What a wonderful thing to do. I have visited others on Caring Bridge and there is so much encouragement there. It will be wonderful for you and John to read.
Thinking of you both, Diana.
You take care of your hero and I bet the elf will be good to him too! prayers for your family, this is a hard journey for all.
Going over to the Bridge now, Diana. You and John are consistently in my prayers. Hugs, Nancy
you know that I wish you and John and your family all the best in this journey. I have been thinking about you a lot lately. I can't seem to get into that website. Make that elf on the shelf behave ... Goodness knows, you won't. Big hugs Xxoo
Hi Diana, so glad that John is set up with Caring Bridge. I was just there and left a message from Larry and I. You both are in our prayers continually. God Bless you both on this journey. I just know God will see you off the Carousel. Hugs Xo
Oh, Diana ... I asked the Lord this morning to give you both strength today, and in all of the days that follow. Whenever you feel weak, just know you have an army of friends praying for you both.
I'm glad you set up Caring Bridge, Diana, and let us know. You're surrounded by prayer.
Diana...you two are still in my thoughts and prayers...and love your sense of humor throughout this very trying time!

Yes, I got the Caring Bridge link on your husband, Diana, and I'll check it out right now. My cousin shared this site also when she had her illness. Thinking of you both on the first day of treatment.

I got an email today and was so happy to be included on the list. Thank you for sharing. I think about you guys so often and say prayers for you all. I hope today was not as completely awful as it sounds. xoxo
I am still praying for both of you! Going to check out the link now. Take care!
Thanks for setting up the Caring Bridge site, Diana. That should make it easier for you then answering all your comments. I was already signed up from a friend of mine a while back so it is an easy way to find out and to leave messages. I hope the treatment went well and it is not too hard on him right away. Thinking of you always and will be following on Caring Bridge..xxo Judy
My prayers will continue.
Thank you for alerting us to the Caring Bridge site...excellent idea, have joined.

Fabulous idea! Hope day number 1 went as well as can be expected! On to Day number 2! I have the theory that counting them down will help make them go quicker :)
I will be following you all over at the bridge, Diana. I've been thinking of you and will be keeping you and John in my prayers. Stay strong!! love you:)

I'm thinking of you both, Darlin' Girl, and of all those capable, willing, talented hands speeding his recovery.

I am praying for you both. My husband had base of tongue cancer, the feeding tube etc. Treatment for Head and neck cancer is brutal and scary. The Cancer Society has a network of wonderful people called Cancer Survivors Network. They are grouped by type of cancer. The Head and neck cancer group is very active and knowledgeable. I would not have made it through my husbands treatment without them. Praying for you both.
I signed up, I hope everything goes well xox
Diana, I'm praying for your hero, you and your dear family. God bless all of you and I know he will keep you in his care. I just found out about this, I'm just so sorry to hear this. Take care, dear friend.

I hope the day goes well for you both. I would guess it will be exhausting. Prayers and hugs.
I just got back from Barrie last night. Came right over to your blog today to see updates of your hero.
I put some pictures up .
We got caught in that storm going. Coming home the flower water spilled on my clothes to the underwear.
Thank the Lord it was not going to. Continued prayers for your Hero with his treatments. Love Sid and I.
I have followed people on The Caring Bridge a few times. It is a good place to go to write your journal and keep others informed. I hope everything will go well today and for the days that follow.
Still praying every day! Hope he is doing ok, that chemo is nasty stuff! Love that the elf is keeping him company and that you both approach this with positivity. That makes such a difference in recovery. Big hugs!!
Blessings,
Jill
Sending you and John and your entire family my love and best wishes.
Continuing to pray for both of you! That was a cute picture of John... and we are praying that the Lord helps you through each of these days with a smile on your face, and hope in your heart! :)
Obviously you have many people praying for you and John. I am one of them. I am a new follower of your blog.

I have been thinking of you so much Diana, but have been unable to visit until today.
I admire your attitude more than words can say. You're a very strong person. No wonder your hero loves you so much.
