Being a teacher of 9th graders, sometimes, you have to take a deep breath and start again. Yes, it is an interesting experience, one that I love. Often, people talk about how teens have changed and even I have noticed how different teenagers are now than 15-20 years ago. However, I have witness something over the months of my dad going through treatment. I have witness how my students ask me almost on a daily basis on how my dad is doing, telling me that we are in their prayers and letting me know it is going to be ok. I have had students give me hugs and give me encouraging words. I have had students tell me about how someone they knew beat cancer. They have talked about their faith and how God is in control and is healing my dad. Even had a student write a letter to my dad telling him how God was healing him. Yes, teenagers can be brats. However, they can also be a kind word and very concern about how others are doing. I am overwhelmed of the massive support friends/family has given to my family. When we started this journey almost 6 months ago, I asked God to heal my dad’s body. I put it in His hands and have every day declared that we are kicking cancer butt. However, the out pour of love, support, kindness, prayers and hope from all who know us truly is a witness of God’s love here on earth.

Hi every one.  Dennis has 3 more times to get his radiation done.  The last couple days he has been not feeling to well.  He sleeps a lot.  He is getting so anxious for Friday to get here.  That is his graduation day.  No more radiation.  YEA!!!!  I will write more later, going to lay down myself just a little tired.  I will close my eyes for 20-30 min.  Talk to you later.

Just got home from the MD Anderson Proton Radiation Center… Dad has 3 more treatments of proton radiation. Before Dad went in for his radiation tonight, we heard the gong sound. For those who don’t know, on your last day of treatment, you can ring a gong for the pride and joy that you graduated from radiation. Plus, you get a completion certificate.

Dad gets to ring the gong on Friday, April 5, 2013 around 10pm. I will make sure to post pictures and video when he rings the gong.

We meet all kinds of people here at the proton radiation center. We have met several families that there love ones also has esophagus cancer, just like Dad. Though, there are also families we have meet that have other types of cancers. There is this one family I want yall to pray for. His name is Korbin, who is an 15yr old from Elk City, Oklahoma. He was diagnosed with an inoperable glioma brain tumor.

Yesterday (Monday, April 1, 2013) was Korbin’s last radiation treatment. The doctor told him this past week, this week and next week will be his hardest for him since he will have all the radiation in him. I ask to pray for Korbin. K4K
