As most of you know, Mema’s son Jered is going through some very hard times right now. He has been diagnosed with cancer. He has had to have both testicles removed and they also found out it has gone in his stomach and his lung! A brain and bone scan are scheduled for March 19 and then chemo the week after.
Please leave your thoughts and prayer for the Mema family!

MeMa,
So sorry to hear this news! Your family is in my thoughts and prayers and thank you for telling us a bit about him.
(Thanks Humble)
Dear MeMA,
My thoughts and prayers for Jered and the family…Faith and Hope and Prayers are so part of healing…be strong dear mema.
p.s. thank you humble for being YOU!
Thank you Humble for leaving this site for Mema. Mema thank you also for sharing about your wonderful son, Jered. He is very young to face such adversity. This is a terrible thing, and both of you are suffering but your lives will be richer as you grow closer together. As a mother, your selfessness will comfort and bring him great consolation. Be certain to not neglect your own health at this crucial time. You are so needed. Take care, Mema and Jered and please keep us posted.
mema , my thoughts and prayers are with you and jered , thank you for giving us a chance to know what a great son you have
Mema…Thank you for telling us about your son. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

MeMa – I did not know until this moment about your son’s cancer.
A prayer for you and yours…
Right now I just RUN TO YOU GOD, OUR STRONG TOWER OF JEHOVAH RAPHA – THE LORD OUR HEALER (The Great Physician)(Exodus 15)
I intercede now for Mema, Jered and all who are affected by this great fear. Hold them tightly in the palm of your great and mighty hand. Only someone facing or sharing a serious sickness, pain or tragedy knows how hard it is; and, knows how difficult it is to cope with the fear and uncertainty.
We humans know how absurd it sounds when someone first tells us to “keep a positive attitude” and how terrifying it is when the doubt comes.
You bring to memory what You, Jesus, told us in Matthew 17:19-20 when You said, “I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, `Move from here to there’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
Give this family and those of us praying now faith as small as a mustard seed to believe – our faith is our ‘hope’, and You tell us that’s the place we should start.
Calm Mema this moment and her son, Jered; and, being our Great Physician, heal Jered’s body and make him whole again. Take the pain from both of them, physically and emotionally, and work a healing miracle in them as you give wisdom and guidance to the health care providers who are treating Jered.
Mema and other friends and family love Jered so very much; and, You remind us of Your greater Love for us ~ You created us and ‘while we were yet sinners, You died for us’.
We praise you and thank you for the miracle you are doing in these lives and for what you will continue to do. We are trusting You, God, for this healing that only You can do.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
may god keep you in his arm and thru him give you strenghth for any and all reasons.
GOD KEEP THIS FAMILY SAFE AND THEIR LOVED ONES WATCHED OVER BY YOUR MIGHTY HANDS.THRU GOD WE HAVE STRENGHTH AND THE POWER TO KEEP US SAFE AS WELL
AMEN
MEMA
YOU ARE BEING A GREAT MOTHER !! So pat yourself on the back for that ..you really are a wonderful caring Mother. The world needs more like you !!
You and I are going to stand in agreement that God is going to deliver JERED away from this.I am praying for health for JERED and also for peace for the rest of the family. Remember that God didnt give us a spirit of worry but a spirit of POWER , LOVE AND A SOUND MIND. And He wants us to cast all of our worries on Him and believe that He has answered our prayer. So you and I are going to have the faith that He is healing HIM right now as we speak. Each time you start to worry just say to yourself “God I know that this spirit of fear isnt of you. You have heard our prayers and we thank you in advance for healing JERED completely”
LOVE YOU ~~~~DANA/anaday~~~~
Dear Ones,
Everywhere I go right now I feel all your support, love and prayers surrounding me….what peace that is for my soul….we are over the HORROR and are no longer paralyzed by the word cancer…my son is free from pain and otherwise very healthy….has a little fluff on his tummy to help with chemo…we had pretty much a rest and relax day yesterday…I went online and researched best foods to eat and Jered loves them all…so we had a very nutritious dinner and right before we left he said when this is all over I want to do one thing….Im gonna get “gone fishin” right above where my testes were….I literally cackled like some sick chicken but I know my son is back and ready for his battle…my heart is singing….love, love, love to you all….I am so blessed by you all…
My Song To You..
Whenever I think of how I hurt, how things seem to go so wrong..
I then think os someone else has it worse & then my pain is gone…
It always seems to be your fate to be the worst possible of dreams
but then I think of someone else & mine aren’t what they seem..
I know you must be hurting so for the loved one you’ve held for years
& the gift God has given you is full of many fears,
but I pray now for the both of you & that he will heal you too,
because I know he loves you both & this is from me to you…
God bless you both in his name the world has more love for you..
I wanted you to know that & that our love is so true..
If ever you need someone to lean on I’ll be right here for the time,
cause I know in my heart of hearts, your pain is more than mine..
Just this minute written for you Mema.. God Bless you
with thoughts & prayers for you & Jered.. we love you
from another Mema.. Mary
mema ,i feel your son is so strong like you,i am proud of you both!and dont forget laughter is the best medicin!
♥Mema♥
I was very disheartened to hear the news……but uplifted as well with the strength that you posess in this time of crisis. I want you to check out this website.My friend ( a single dad) that suffers from a rare brain tumor is a member. It has kept all his friends in the loop on his progress and costs nothing to join. His sister hosts it, and ocassionally he pops on to give thanks for the support.Please consider this, as it will help also to get the word out on donations.Missing you,appreciate you feel blessed to know you….

Scrama….your poem is beautiful.
Mema, sounds like Jered has a little humor going on!
That is a good thing!
Dear Ones….Jered is feeling so much better…only had 1 pain pill versus 10 daily for a few weeks…My hubs and I went out to spend time today with daughter and Raegan and her hubs and then back to dinner with Jered….he got to go into his shop for the first time today and he was so glad…he is resting and eating very organic nutritious food and pumpkin pie every night…he is loving everybite…now blueberries are another story but he ate 7 of them…good enough
Again let me mention how nice it is to be able to chat away and take my mind off my troubles…but I still feel very blessed that this is all the burden we have right now…we are all handling this pretty well…talking freely about everything…it is healing. And all your prayers surround us daily…Once again I have to thank Humble for her enormous generosity and her caring nature for us all…it humbles me Humble… love and hugs..
forget to tell Scrama I read your poem first thing everyday….love ya
Mema that is a good thing he is feeling better and 1 pain pill a day! I pray that things keep getting better!
Mema, thinking of you and yours and sending you prayers and love.JA
Mema
Checking in today to let you know you and Jared are on my mind……was nice talking to you the other day! Prayers daily and possitive vibes out to you both……♥♥♥
mema,
thinking on you and your son!missing you!
God bless you one and all….our prayers were answered today…there is no cancer in the brain or bone…2-4 months of chemo…he can go to work if he feels up to it and if the stomach cancer cannot be eradicated he will go to Indianapolis and be operated by the same surgeon as Lance Armstrong…thank you for all your concern and most of all for all your prayers….God is good…..so is Humbles’s home…love and peace
P.S. I almost forgot to wish Miss Indigent Felon Casey Marie Anthony a sad and miserable birthday…Im surprised at yesterday’s hearing she didnt whisper to everyone “tomorrow is my birthday”..she’s that pathetic
Oh MeMa….how wonderful…I have tears in my eyes…prayer is SO very powerful…as is LOVE.
Blessings to all. JA
mema ,thats wonderful news!my prayers will go on for your both!stay strong!
MEMA! Wonderful news! You are both in my prayers!!!!
Mema…That is so wonderful to hear…I will keep all of you in my prayers.
Mema, how is Jered doing? Any updates?
morning humble…the pain is back full force…stage III will have to be managed with drugs…we see a pain specialist on the 2nd of April…he starts chemo after April 6th….5 in a row and then rest 28 days….several more tests have to be run to make sure heart and lung can take the amounts they have to blast this with….we say daily….this too shall pass…sorry I was late in this post but found out all of this Friday…we are all still eating everything loaded with antioxidants….gonna start juicing….may all look like Jack Lelane when we’re done….Ive lost 12 lbs. so far and Jered is down 26 but he still has a little fluff for chemo…I have had no sugar, carbs, or white of anything….honey is my best friend now…hehe…I am cross eyed from all the forms needed to get aid….but still lurk early in the morning…love to you all….I thank God daily that Jered will survive this and will come out of this so very much stronger…and closer to God…love
Hi Mema, thanks for the update! You are both in my prayers! Not sure if you have been through the chemo before, but it is very powerful and the lack of eating and drinking happens! Make sure you keep him filled up when ever possible. It will be a stressful time for you, and make sure you get all your questions answered by the doctor! I will go back and see if I have the email from my s-i-l that has plenty of questions to ask. When my dad went through chemo, yogurt was a biggie for him! And you have to watch he is not putting his food and drinks in the trash can [a trick my dad learned]!
mema,hope jereds pain getting better,he have a long road in front of him,you and your son are in my prayers,stay both strong!
Mema, it’s wonderful that the cancer has not spread to his bones and brain. The chemo will be difficult but I sincerely hope it gives him the ammunition to fight this horrible disease. You have a terrific outlook that is going to serve both you and Jered well. He has you to keep his stamina up and coping with the pain and treatments will be so much easier with your positive attitude. I will keep you both in my prayers and continue thinking good thoughts for your future happiness during this grueling time.
mema my thoughts and prayers are with you and your son.GOD BLESS YOUR SON AND GRAND CAT SWEETIE.FROM JH GLORIA IF I CAN HELP IM PART OF YOUR FAMILY TOO.MUCH LOVE
Mema we are all praying for jerrod..ask,believe,recieve.praise the lord
Mema, be strong for Jered, you are his strength now. My prayers are with both of you. The drugs they use today are phenomanal, the research programs are the key. They do have drugs to counteract the nausea, God Bless you for being the mother that you are. Hugs, lynn
DEAR MEMA
YOU ARE DOING SUCH A FABULOUS JOB TAKING CARE OF JERED. I AM PRAYING FOR JERED THAT HE HAS A FULL RECOVERY, AND FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY TO HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GET THROUGH THESE TRYING TIMES. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
~~~~LOVE- DANA/ANADAY
Mema
Think of you so much!! And pray that Jered’s pain will be eased so he can be compfortable for the process ahead. If you can, mabey look into the medical maryjane aspect. Look what i found for you…..
• Full Pink Moon – April This name came from the herb moss pink, or wild ground phlox, which is one of the earliest widespread flowers of the spring. Other names for this month’s celestial body include the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and among coastal tribes the Full Fish Moon, because this was the time that the shad swam upstream to spawn. ♥♥ ~ Eyespy
eyes….that pink moon was out in her full glory on the 28th of March…I thought of you too…now that we’re moon goons…I’ll never look at a moon again that you are not in my thoughts…
I think the maryjane will help me right now….our appt. for the pain specialist never took place on April 2nd because they were not faxed the info and Jered was turned away….we have had to go chase drugs from specialists when he is out and I’m trying not to go ballistic on someone….we have to wait til April 5th to now MAKE an appt to see her….she is the grand pooba of all doctors right now to keep him out of pain….trying not to get stressed out but patience is wearing pretty thin….I keep saying…this too shall pass…it will someday be a memory…
Thanks once again for your concerns and prayers…much love and peace to you all….will keep you posted with any news or updates…
Annette
Mema
You should take him back to the hospital that did his surgery.Go to the emergency room, they have his records and they cant refuse to see him or give him pain medication because of lack of funds….At least untill you can get situated with the pain specialist.You shouldnt have to be chasing medication for him, my god its not a simple tooth ache……
Keep us posted.♥♥♥
My prayers are going out to Mema and Jered and all their family during this time. Stay strong and strengthen each other with your love!
Thanks Val…Im a daily lurker at Hinky…you rock sister friend…Im feeling like the Hulk today…
Hi Humble and dear ones…Jered had his first bout of chemo today…Praise the Good Lord…ate very well today..it took 5 hours…but he drew for awhile and slept…said he can handle it…goes for 5 in a row then everday for a shot for 15 days, rest for 2 and then go at it 4 more times….ends June 18th…so we are now on the road to recovery…He looks to me for his strength and I told him today is what he sees in my eyes is God’s love…I think a mothers love is the closest thing to God’s love on earth…and my son is a very kind soul…we will do well and once again want to thank you for your prayers and concern…a true comfort in this time…
mema we are all still hoping for 100% percent recovery.I have a son your age I can only imagine ..keep strong…
Mema, I think of your plight often. It saddens me so to hear about good people suffering so much. You’ve been his rock and I’m positive he knows this. The chemo will hopefully speed his recovery, but I fear in the meantime it will be a hard road. In addition to seeing that he eats and cares for himself, do not neglect your own needs. You don’t need to be a soldier at all times, there’s nothing better than a good hard cry to vent your feelings should the need arise. Regardless, taking care of yourself will enable you to continue caring so wonderfully for Jered. I hope you both will have some positive feedback soon from his recent treatments. Take care, Mema, and remember you both are in all our thoughts and prayers.
morning dear ones….today is last day in first series of chemo…Jered is doing well….the tumor in his stomach is what has been causing all of his acute pain but after only 4 days in chemo he said it is just a dull ache..not extreme…the tumor is shrinking..next week he starts shots (drug that stimulates white corpuscles to start growing again and thus the ache in his bones will occur)…and the drugs he has for nausea are working for him too…he has got his appetite back…I realize this is just the first few steps on the long road to his recovery but seeing his pain being relieved is very uplifting…
what I find odd is that no matter who I talk to about my son’s condition, every one knows a friend or family member who has had testicular cancer…I only knew of Lance Armstrong…makes me wonder how prominent this disease has become and what is causing it
I will keep you advised as we go along and lurk every day to keep up on the news in this case…miss our chats tho….love and peace
mema,i know your son have the strength to fight this,because you are his mom!stay both strong!
Mema, that is wonderful that the pain is going and the tumor is shrinking! I only knew of Lance Armstrong also. Or maybe the guys just don’t talk much about it!
Mema, any updates?
MEMA,thinking much on you and jered,hope all goes a good way.my prayers going on and will never stop!miss you
hi everyone…..so far so good…Jered always has a bad Tuesday due to the bleo he is given but comes right back after a down day…all his numbers were good (blood counts) after first round of chemo…we start #2 on May 2…he has 5 days off with no shots or chemo…he keeps losing weight from a good diet not living off the $1 menu at McDonalds anymore…lots of fruits and veggies and lean meat…not too much sugar and no white flour or alot of carbs…he hasnt weighed what hes at since high school…..still has his hair but his facial hair is falling out…doctors were very surprised how well he is doing…said last patient that had to go thru B.E.P. chemo had to be hospitalized after first treatment…his care at the cancer treatment center has been excellent…nurses told me what a kind soul my son is…he has made alot of new friends there too…he is really partial to a 73 yr old woman who has lung cancer this time…had stomach cancer 30 yrs ago…he bought her chocolate ensure (vitamin drink) and took it to her Friday…they really hugged each other and she told him she would drink every drop…Raegan’s
(granddaughter) birthday is next weekend so we will celebrate that while Jered has free days….Jered is drawing while at chemo instead of writing a journal….when he first started his sketches were a little shaky but has more control of his hands now….lots of roses…
Ill keep you all in touch and Humble thanks for being such a wonderful person…never did I think that when I started blogging how close I would become to all of you…

Mema !! So happy to hear all is going well. It makes such a difference when you have support like Jered has, and it seems he has extended that goodwill to others……I think of you often, and am glad to hear everyone was able to celebrate Raegans birthday. Are you still able to get her out for the moon viewing? I hope so. Im like you, i am able to lurk a bit but i allways spend time just catching up, and dont have enough focus to comment lol. Take care of your family and many blessings to you!
Your Moon Goon Friend ~ Eyespy ♥♥♥

I am still trying to keep a few days a week slotted for play dates with Raegan but havent been on a moon view for 2 months now…I miss the moon and the moon misses me..hehe My daughter is graduating (masters) May 13th and I may have an overnight with Raegan…cant wait…
Annette
Jered completes his second round today of chemo then we have 8 days of leukine shots to stimulate his white count…that’s when he is the sickest…but still cancer center is amazed at how well he is doing…we learned alot from the first round so we’re ready…he hasnt been able to work since Feb. 26th and is starting to get bummed out about that a little….depression is gonna be his biggest battle but Im ready to stand on my head if needed…I remind him of the big picture…also remind him that this will some day be a memory..
Hope to catch up with you soon so we can have a good chat….really been missin you eyes…..my little moon goon friend….peace and love

mema was thinking on you and jered!hope all goes o.k,this song is for both of you!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkZ6SmvXOEY&feature=related
mikka…thanks for the video…oh so soul soothing…beautiful scenery and beaches…still doing good my way…Jered is feeling pretty good last few days…we learned so much with the first chemo that it seems easier this time…start again the 24th…with #3 then have one more on June 14…half way there…sorry I took so long to respond but my mom fell while I was watching the hearing and hit her head…dr said she’s ok but both eyes are purple black and she looks like a racoon…she was running (81yrs. old) because she had to pee and ended up peeing on herself and almost knocking herself out…I swear when it rains..it pours…thanks again mikka….you are the best…much love and
mema sorry about your mom,jered will go through this,and after he will feel better than ever!i am so glad you are his mom,i hope he know this!see ya soon and stay both strong!love ya!
and this song for your both,i was thinking,you raised yered up and now he have your shoulder to get over this!
mema this is the song,its not jusst instrumental!
youtube.com/watch?v=God4uk1Avj8&feature=related
sorry thats the right one!!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=God4uk1Avj8&feature=related
mikka….thank you again for that beautiful video…..I think sooner or later we all need a strong shoulder to stand on….I know for sure that when I need mine…my son will be there in a heartbeat…we are learning so much everyday since Jered was diagnosed with cancer…but one thing I already knew was how love and support can get you thru any of life’s miseries…we see a lot of older people always alone and no one there to lend a hand to them…really sad…
thanks again Mikka for hanging in here with me….means the world to me…much love and
Mema, how is Jered?
Hi there Humble…so nice to chat with you….Jered is doing really well….has a great appetite and out look right now….we’re half way thru….we learned so much with the first chemo, we have done so much better this round…start the next one on the 24th….we have had such excellent care at the cancer treatment center…he has been drawing such beautiful roses and nautical scenes with ships…
He feels so bad for the elderly people going thru this right now all alone…he’s the youngest one…so they want to help him but he’d rather have it the other way around…he always holds the doors for them and make sure he saves a chair by him for the ones there by themselves…an elderly man left a print of a painting he had just finished…meant a lot to him…
Thanks again Humble for a place to talk about my journey…sure has meant the world to me…your kindness will be paid forward 10 fold…much love
Mema, that is wonderful that he is doing well! You sound much better in your posts now a days!
I do know how hard it is on older folks, my dad went through it at the ripe age of 76, and it was very hard for him, but he survived and is doing wonderful.
I am so happy that things are getting better for all of you! Makes me mad to think that anyone has to go through it!
mema when i hear this song i think on you both,i know jered have your shoulder to lay on!
sometimes its sad does older people must handle her ills alone,but jered give much to them!stay both strong ,after the rain the sun will shine!!! love ya!
norning mikka and Humble….Jered’s counts were low so he will have to have a few more luekine shots before we start again…he has had hives and rash for a few days which they think decreased his white count level…put him on antibiotics and more benedryl to counteract the allergic reaction…thought we had a few days to kick back and relax but shots only take a few minutes…more time to drive there than anything…but we chat all the way there and back..had some great reflection thoughts already with him…
to you and peace
Humble…darn shame that at your dad’s age he had to deal with the likes on cancer…shows how strong your father is…and his strength lives within your soul…
mikka….thanks for your message “after the rain the sun will shine…and if your blessed you see the rainbow…
good morning…not good norning hehe everyone…almost thru the 3rd round of chemo…things are good again this time…next week is the bad one…but we are ok with that too..he has about 3-4 miserable days a month…so we kinda bunker down on those days and celebrate the rest…
eyes…Ill be thinking of you tonight while gazing at the full moon in all her glory…here is the full version of that poem…wanted to be sure and share it with you before I space that off…
Moon
I See the Moon
I see the moon (and) the moon sees me
The moon sees the somebody I’d like to see
God Bless the moon and God Bless me
And God Bless the somebody I’d like to see.
It seems to me that God above
Created you for me to love
He picked you out from all the rest
Because he knew I loved you best
I once had a heart as good as new
But now it’s gone from me to you
Take care of it as I have done
For you have two and I have none
If I get to heaven and you’re not there
I’ll carve your name on a golden stair
A way up high for all to see
Just how much you mean to me

humble…I still lurk everyday and miss you all….hi mikka….hope your painting went well…wish I could have come and painted it for you…muesli….have a great time while your gone…will miss your morning posts…Ill keep you all posted…thanks again for hanging in here with me….peace and
Mema…..Thank you for sharing that wonderful poem, it is so heartfelt and im glad you taught it to Raegan. One day she will teach it to her own grandchildren im sure.
We must have had a mind meld last night, for i was out moon gooning as well, heh heh calming my restlessness.
Im so happy to hear Jered is coming along so well, soon this will all be behind you both. God does work in strange ways, and the nudge he gave you made it possible for you to know your son in a new way, and for him to appreciate the love of a mother. Bless you both. ~ eyespy
MEMA ,you are both so strong,together you can get over this bad ill!it will be up and down for a while,but i am sure in the end the reward will be big!you are both in my prayers,stay strong!
morning dear ones….today is last week for chemo…then Jered will have shots for a couple of weeks and we’ll be done by June 29th…CT scan to see how well the tumor in stomach shrunk so then we can schedule surgery in Indianapolis to remove it….almost see the finish line in the distance….they had to take away one of the chemos Jered has had (Bleo) because of his allergic reaction to it…just praying all goes well instead of that set back….time will tell…
still lurking and trying to keep up with everyone….always so much to do in the summer months…my poor gardens are crying to be weeded…I try to pluck a few areas daily til the mosquitoes get me….sad thing is as soon as I finish I’ll have to start again…like housework…never ending…
Humble…congrats on your wedding and good luck with your move….boy you have some relaxing to do…hope you get to that soon….
Mikka….thanks again for hanging in there with me….love you girl…
eyes….I’m hoping and praying everyday that you get better too….sure do miss all the chats and laughs….hang in there and Ill keep you in my thoughts and prayers….and moon goon outings…hehe…..luv and peace…
Mema, this is great news about the chemo! I hope and pray all goes will with the scan and that the tumor can be removed asap. He seems to be making a great comeback from all of this! I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayer! You are one tough lady!
morning everyone…..just a update on our chemo treatment….had to postpone it til next Monday because of Jered’s dangerously low blood counts….not the white count this time…but all the rest were bad…has a complete week off….doctors are hoping this will calm down the allergic reaction he has taken to the bleo….
I’ll let you know how things go from here……peace and love
morning dear ones…we’re done with chemo and CT scan shows the tumor on the stomach has shrunk to 1/2 the size…we now go to Indy to meet with cancer specialists(July 27th) to see what can be done to remove it…it is laying on the back side of his stomach near his spine…we go for a PET scan on the 6th to see if there is any other cancer cells undetected…may have some still in his lymph glands…the chemo he had to have left water around his heart but they say it should go away sometime later….all in all Jered feels much better and his spirits are still very good….he has been a great soldier in his battle…never a complaint or a “feel sorry for me” moment…I feel like we’re half way thru this now and hopefully the worst is behind us…thank the Good Lord for that….much love and peace
dear ones…just got the best news ever…Jered will not have to go thru surgery or any more chemo…only has to have a blood test every two months for a year and then every four months for the next four years…the chance of the tumor growing back is 2-3 percent…Im happy crazy right now…thanks to the Good Lord above and my Flabs everything is so good right now…love you Humble for all you do for us…it is much appreciated…
peace
Mema, that is WONDERFUL news. Congratulations to your family. Gosh that poor man has been through a lot, and it has all paid off. Yes, that Good Lord was watching out and over you!
Mema,
WOW, what great news! I’m soooo happy for all of you, thanks for letting us know!
mema ,after the rain ,the sun will come up,i told you,i am so happy for you and jered!hope you make a big party and celebrate!
WhooooooooooHoooooooooo!! That is fantastic news Mema!! I know your whole family is celebrating……So happy for you! ♥♥♥
hello everyone….Humble, SS, Mikka and Eyes…thanks for your support thru all of this…we celebrated by having fresh vegetables and dip, DQ choc chip cookie dough cake and champagne…(during chemo he could only eat cooked vegetables and fruit due to the pesticides in the food so fresh vegetables were first on his list) we are all beyond beaming with joy right now…trying to get back to normal but forgot what normal was…and back to summer and the beach…He’s gonna take a few weeks off before he goes back to work…blood counts are still kinda low but climbing each week…promised me he would only work 5 days instead of 7 days a week from now on…all work and no play….I bet I’ll have to remind him tho…5 months without working and owning a tattoo shop has put him in the red…he’s not too concerned about this years figures since he has the rest of his life to come back from it…Life is good…love is better…love you all
mema ,tell jered take it easy at work,i am so glad for your both,i know its hard,but tell him,forget the red numbers,but life is priceless!
mikka, I gave Jered your advise…also told him to stop and smell the roses along the way…my mom passed away yesterday…she was 81 and had congested heart failure…she was weary but the strongest person I have ever encountered…I inherited that strength and as you can see passed it to my son…to bad it stopped there…Im glad she is at peace and dancing with my dad now…but will dearly miss her…thanks again Mikka for ALWAYS being there…you are one sweet soul
Mema, so sorry to hear about your mom! My prayers are with you and your family.
