We're leaving for Denmark

On Monday we'll take off from Chicago and won't be back until mid-August, right before school starts. Unfortunately, we'll miss this summer's family events here and we'll miss seeing you guys and spending time together.

My mom's health has taken a turn for the worse, and she's currently receiving radiation for cancer cells in her hip. When diagnosed the breast cancer had metastasized to her lungs and spinal cord. The spreading of the cells to her hip has meant that she has a hard time walking and is in a great deal of pain. The hope is that with different pain medication and radiation her quality of life will once again get better for a period of time.

Sara and Eva send kisses and hugs to all, as do I - well, hugs ;-)

Safe travels in Denmark. Prayers and thoughts for your mom and family. We'll miss you this summer, but we'll be thinking of you.

Try to enjoy your time there, there is joy in every day but some days you have to look hard for it.
