I loved what Brother Holman said in his testimony back in August during Sacrament Meeting. Went something like this: "Life is like a ride. I'm just glad to be along for it. The ups and the downs." It stuck with me because at that time I was going through my one year post cancer check and had to be on the special low iodine diet, no dairy of any kind {you know that's not easy for me if you know how I cook} and no thyroid meds to act as my metabolism. And having thoughts, worries about cancer returning. What he said stuck with me because he was {is} battling cancer for the 3rd or 4th time. It gave me courage.
It's just what I needed to hear prior to Peter being diagnosed with cancer. Those words still give me courage.
But this picture explains it all.
- Hold on tight
- smile
- pray
Lots of prayers have been said for Peter. Thank you a million times. Those prayers have been answered. Peter had his surgery. He's doing better than I expected. We don't know the results yet but he's doing amazing. The surgeons are optimistic. Mother and dad are encouraged. Peter is resting. I'm home for the afternoon for a nap in my own bed and a shower. More updates on Peter soon.

Nola, I had no idea that you had struggled with cancer. I'm happy to hear that Peter's surgery went well. I hope you continue to get good news. I liked what you wrote about The Christmas Season being a time of hope, peace and miracles. And faith, too. I believe that you have been very faithful. Love you. Carmen.
I think of you every minute. Wondering how my sweet Peter is doing. I wonder how you are doing? Tired? Wish I was there to give you a foot rub? Neck rub? Oh......Why is Wa. so far away?
Know that we are praying for you all the time.
So glad all went well.
