Surgery to Remove the Cancer

Today, at noontime, my son Christopher is going under the knife to remove a testicular tumor. The very fear brought on by the word "cancer" has been taxing. It doesn't seem like very long ago that I was bouncing Chris on my knee. It's difficult when your child faces something this scary.

My mom will be with us at the hospital. Her support, and presence, is huge. My mother is a humble woman, and a big impact on our lives through her own prayer for us.

Prayer from bloggers, family and friends around the world has been tremendous.
