I am still here! ;)

Hello All,

Just thought I would pop in and let you know I am still here. With the exception of a card that was made in advance and the blog candy winners post that I had to do, I have been MIA for a little while.
Here is a snippet of what my last 2 weeks have been like...
Hubby and I both had the flu. I missed work for a week but was too sick to craft.
My mom was diagnosed with uterine cancer. She had surgery Friday in Tulsa, OK. The doctors think it was all contained but won't know for sure until they get the biopsy result for the lymph nodes that were removed.
Our central heat went out and it is COLD in Kansas my friends!
Yesterday my son Kurt was rushed to the emergency room out of town with a yet to be diagnosed issue. He has some tests scheduled for today. Please pray for him that is is something minor and very curable.
I stayed home from work sick (actually dead tired) today and also have a pain in my side like a kidney infection. I will be downing the cranberry juice and water all day!
Anyhow...I apologize for not being more active with my blog, and my visits to yours, as of late but I think you will understand why. Now I just hope I can get all of my samples done for my design team commitments for the month!
Wish me luck!

Hugs,
True :D

  1. Hey True,
    Aww hun you sound as if you have had enough to cope with without worrying about all of us. We aren't going anywhere soon so concentrate on getting everyone well and come back when you can. I hope everything is ok for your Mom and your son - will say a prayer for both of them.
    Take care, stay warm and get well.

  2. Hi True,

    So sorry for all the snags in your life at this time. I will pray for your mom and son and you too with that pain!!! Hope your life will take a better turn right away! Be sure to take enough time for you and your family. I'm sure your design teams will understand a personal emergency and be lenient.

    Hugs and blessings,
    Linda

  3. Trudy, that is a lot to happen all at once. Even just one of those things would be difficult. I DO know what it feels like to have many difficult things to deal with at once. I send you empathy and will be praying for your family.

  21. Hi True ~ I just wanted to lift your spirits and give you some much needed HOPE! God has healed me of cancer - twice!!! Once through doctors and once by His hand alone (honest!!!). If He did it for me, He will do it for anyone! I do lift you up, your mom and your son in prayer. Jesus is our Healer and through believing, He will perform miracles : )

    May His Healing Hand touch you through and through, bringing peace like you've never experienced before!

    Much love and hugs ~ Lori

  22. My goodness, you have all really been going 'through the mill' lately.

    I pray that you all make a good recovery and that life treats you all kindly from now on.

  23. aww, True! feel better, hunneh!
    hope the cranberry juice does its trick - i find myself in that predicament more often than i'd care to admit, and one jug of that stuff usually does the trick! (i HATE going on antibiotics!)

    hope hubby is better, too! when it rains, it pours, right?
    and i'm SO sorry to hear about your mom's diagnosis - fingers crossed that they got it all, and that she's feeling like a million bucks again soon. xo

  26. Oh, True! SOO sad to hear all of your woes. Hope things are looking up even by now. Will pray for your mom and son (just said a prayer now, too.) Get better soon, and keep us posted. Remember, God is the Great Physician!

  29. I enjoy visiting your site but am lazy leaving comments. I needed to respond to this posting. I am so sorry to hear of the nastiness that has hit you lately; my mom always said when it rains it usually pours.......but then the sun always comes out eventually! Your sunshine is well over due!! Praying for Gods healing for your mom, son and you and DH!

  35. Wow, True, I am just making the rounds to check in on all of my blogging buds - I am SO sorry I did not see your post sooner and even more sorry to hear that you are going through all of this!

    I hope that by the time you read this that you and hubby have heat and are recovered from the flu (or at least feeling WAY better!) - that your mom is healing from her surgery and that she has had good news re: her test results - and that your son has also been diagnosed and that whatever health issue is going on with him, it IS minor and he is also on his way to being healed!

    I also pray that God will be with you and your family during this time and that you will not only feel His presence there, to uphold you and give you strength, but that you will also feel the love and support of your friends everywhere!

    Hugs
