Thank you Jace!


                                                              Our Son Jace

I want to say a special thank you to him. He had graduated college and went to the east coast for a well deserved break/vacation. To visit with some friends, see some sights. 

And when I got the diagnosis, he came home right away. 
He put his plans and life on hold, to help us through this. 
We didn’t ask, he just did it. 
I am sure if you said anything to him – he would say it’s nothing. But he has been a blessing to me. He took me back and forth to Doctor appointments in Tulsa, when I could not drive after surgery. He went with me, to my Chemo Doctor, so he could record it for me. I knew there would be lots of information to remember. He has filled in at work for me, run errands, cleans my kitchen, vacuums and much more. 
He also does research and is one of my biggest cheerleaders!!

   
I am sure he is bored to death, back here in the little town – so few choices for entertainment and fun for someone who is 25, compared to OKC, or Boston.  But he has given of himself – selflessly. 

I am very grateful and I am so proud of the man he has become. 

I love you son!

  2. Dear Kelly,
    I know it has been a long, hard, emotional, and painful haul for you over these past eight months. I pray that you have come out of this healthier and stronger and even closer to your family. I do think of you daily and would love to talk to you when you feel better. Take care sis because I know the best is yet to come. Love Melissa

    1. And do you know what Jace said when I told him how wonderful I thought he was to have come home to be there for you to help you through this? He said, and I quote, "Thank you, but I wish I could do more." He is one special young man, but then we all knew that!!! How could he not be with the 2 of you as his parents? I love you all! Lynette
