Our Papa

Last Wednesday we got some bad news....Bryan's dad's cancer is back. (It happened to be his 59th birthday...not a very nice birthday gift!) Today Mike starts another round of intense chemotherapy. After this next round of chemo Grandpa will undergo a bone marrow transplant...courtesy of Aunt DeAnn. We feel very blessed to have had a good six months of Grandpa feeling well enough to enjoy 2 awesome vacations with all of us! We are so grateful that we have the bravest, strongest, happiest Grandpa out there! He NEVER complains! Whenever we call or visit his first question is, "How is everybody?". We look forward to "kicking this next round in the butt AGAIN"! We love you Grandpa! Go Team Halliday!

That's not good news at all. So sorry. I'm so glad that your family is so "tight." You support each other so well and hope that he kicks this next round in the butt too! GO TEAM!

My mom recently kicked her cancer in the butt. It's stressful and scary so we'll be sure to keep him in our prayers.

thanks for your sweet comment today. I am amazed at how many women go through this and just put on a smile and pretend like it is not happening.
