This is just a quick note to all of you who are wondering what is going on in our lives....
I'm doing quite well-I still need my sleep but otherwise I'm feeling good. Earl & I are spending quite a lot of our time hanging out with our friends and families.
My entire family is flying with Earl & I on Saturday, the 21st. We leave Winnipeg at 9:00 am. On Sunday I am admitted to the hospital at 1:00 pm and on Monday is my surgery. They've scheduled me in for 7 1/2 hours.
Yes I'm looking forward to getting my tumors removed, no I'm not looking forward to surgery. I don't spend a lot of time thinking about surgery. I find people ask me about it more than I think about it. I guess it's easier for me to not dwell on the future too much, especially if it holds things that are scary.
Enjoy your evenings
Ramona

Hi Earl & Ramona,
I marked the date of your surgery on my calendar and will pray for the 2 of you and also your parents...
May you continue to feel God's loving arms around you. Thanks for sharing your journey with us.

Ramona,
On Wednesday as Rob and I walked home from your parents' place, I was reflecting on the Lord's faithfulness in the past year. This whole cancer ordeal has been hard with some set-backs along the way, but there have been many "little" miracles, if miracles are ever little. And I along with many others look to the God of hope, faithfulness, and awesomeness for your upcoming surgery.
Here is a quote I have hanging in our rec room:
WHERE THERE IS FAITH THERE IS LOVE.
WHERE THERE IS LOVE THERE IS PEACE,
WHERE THERE IS PEACE THERE IS GOD.
WHERE THERE IS GOD THERE IS NO NEED.
Pulling hard for you,
Gloria.
