Back home again!

Wednesday the 28th I came back home from my trip to the South. It was difficult to say goodbye but again great to be home where I belong with my husband.

It has been a a few days since I blogged.

Yesterday I lost my eldest brother Dirk, who was battling cancer for the last several weeks. From a healthy 83 year old just a few months ago he lost his fight to that dreadful decease. I simply cannot believe it. I was so very fond of him. He leaves to mourn, his wife Willy of 60 years and his children and granchildren.

Ted and I will be going to Whitby, Ontario for the funeral this week. We will be leaving Wednesday morning with Air Canada at 6:45am and return Saturday evening the 8th.

It is a strange thing that he was praying for us during our bouts with cancer and now he is with the Lord. So we never know when the Lord calls us home.

I will be having all my tests in July as a matter of fact I have to cancel my CTScan scheduled for this week. Hopefully they are able to slot me in before I see the oncologist later on in the month. I am feeling excellent though for which I am very thankful.

Ted's tests turned out all normal last month.

Whenever I see or hear that word, Whitby, I always feel that is a safe place because that is where you were cared for during your time of heart trouble. I know you will be a blessing and an encouragement to the family. Come home safely to us again.
