the strongest woman i know....




HONEY.....(aka mom or judy)......is the strongest woman i know. she is the woman i have admired & strived to be like all my life. she has that special "mom" gift of just being able to look at me & know that i need a hug because i have hit a rough patch in the road. over the past years she has crossed many bridges in her life with her health but keeps on pushing through and always comes out on top! conquering those battles and always always looking on the bright side and never focusing on the negative.

this thursday mom begins her first round of chemo for breast cancer. i ask that you pray with us over these next few months. pray for her physical strength, for our family support, for the nurses guidance, for henry & lucy to stay healthy so they can visit & play with their Honey, for her emotional strength, and of course so much more. this is a new road our family will be traveling on together with her and of course with God right by our side.

here are two photos from tonight. we had a surprise dinner for mom at Cantina with all of her best friends. everyone wore pink & greeted mom with some hilarious wigs (more pics of those to come from carrie). it was a super fun evening of dinner with friends and lots of good laughs! exactly what she needs before thursday. thanks to everyone for such a fun night!

we will keep you posted on the blog as to how mom is doing. thank you all for your friendships and your hearts. she is our "Honey" and just seems to get sweeter and sweeter over time! xoxo mom- i love you so much!

Linds, I knew when I saw the title this was going to bring tears to my eyes...but more they are tears of joy of the love you all have for each other and for your Mom. I have already been praying for sweet Judy and will continue to do so for as long as it's needed. Thank you for posting your message and the great pictures. That was such an awesome idea to throw her a surprise dinner! XOXO Dough boy
