Things will never be the same . . .

It's hard to believe that it's been a year since we found out the news that changed our lives forever. We never saw it coming, we would have never expected to hear those dreaded words . . . Malignant Brain Tumor! I can remember like it was yesterday, the events of that day, my Dad coming over to tell me the news . . . he was diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme Stage 4 Brain Cancer . . . I was crushed! Here was this man, my superman, my HERO, my Dad . . . I thought that there was nothing that could bring him down, and now he was about to take on this battle to fight for his life. He would not be alone, we would not leave his side during this journey.

This devastation has brought our family closer than it has been in years. I still often wonder how this can even be happening. Although it seems like the longest year of my life, it has flow by . . . through brain surgery, radiation/chemo, countless road trips, MRIs and all the waiting for the results, Gamma Knife procedures, sleepless nights, Avastin infusions and plenty of tears, we have made it this far together . . . as a F A M I L Y!!! I pray daily for a CURE to be found and I'll ALWAYS be praying for that MIRACLE!
