So, good news and bad...
Bad I'll do first:
My mom was diagnosed with Stage IV Breast Cancer in June of 2010. She is currently undergoing chemo every week for 1 year to hopefully treat it...then she will have to take a pill for the rest of her life.
It has been a trying and horrible time. God is good and we constantly have to remind ourselves of that..Sometime we don't understand why things happen...and may never have the opportunity...but they still happen...be it "SIN" or "the Devil" himself...we just don't know.
She has, however refused to allow us to stop the adoption process...So that brings us to a bit of good news...
We are just waiting to receive approval from Immigration and then we will be ready to submit the Dossier..then the real waiting begins...
Lily starts school at ECS next week and then Mia will start a MDO program there in Sept. I am going to use that time to complete my thesis.
It is strange how God leads us to things...My thesis is on grief and trauma through literature....I've read all the books...Elizabeth Kubler Ross and Jon Allen, among many others, that discuss how to deal and cope and with the realization that a loved-one is dying or seriously ill. I've been researching this for 2 years now. Strange and ironic...
Now, to lighten the mood!
We had a nice vacation to Antigua, just Garry and Me...We spent a week relaxing and sunning by the beach and pool. We realize this may be the last opportunity for a vacation for the 2 of us for many years. Hopefully Our next 2 "Holidays" will be to Bulgaria!
