Wait for it...Good News

In the sea of all this sadness and grief comes good news.

Right after S ( Hubby's brother) died a good friend of ours ( Johnny) got sick with tongue cancer.

I did not know you could get tongue cancer but you can.  (Yet another reason not to smoke.)

We were worried.We said prayers.  The kids sent cards. He did his treatment.

He came out to see us a few weeks ago. 
Thinner than before. 
Eating through a tube, and unable to swallow. 
By the end of his visit he was in a lot of pain, but very grateful to be alive.

Today he called. The docs at gave him a clean bill of health.

Finally a battle we won!

My hubby's grandfather had tongue cancer and most of his tongue removed...

So glad for your friend! A bit of good news in hard times is like a ray of sunlight.
