We really wish there was something we could do to help...okay, send the kids back to GA for stay for a while! :) <BR/>We have Blaine on the prayer list at church and Nicholas says his prayers every night and ends with "Please God, please make Mr. Blaine get over his cancer and make him never ever have cancer again. AMEN." Everyone that knows him at WR-ALC ha him in their prayers as well. Keep up the humor! <BR/>Love you guys!

But, you seem to have already arrived to a wonderful destination from what I have read. I was visiting you a few months ago, but you dropped off my radar. I'll put ya back on it!

I know that I've mentioned this before, but I'm thinking that the people who didn't 'know' you through Kendries site might not have read the crap sandwich entry. That entry moved me.. and really made it hit home. You have been through so much, all of you.. and you handle it with grace and humor. Your friends make me laugh, too.. the pants being off but not because they are bored, because they don't fit!! Unfortunately, I can relate to that. <BR/><BR/>Just wanted to say that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.. Blaine is an amazing guy and it's so unfair that he is going through all this.. some people just don't understand.. maybe they are lucky enough never to have known anyone fighting the cancer fight? My moms radiation to her jaw caused all of her teeth to fall out.. just another indignity caused by cancer.. <BR/><BR/>You are all amazing.. and thank you for sharing your journey.

Between your updates and the photos, it's apparent that Blaine will carry scars for the rest of his life. All of you will, whether they are visible or not. I am just praying that the scars never become your whole life story; that God will help you to weave those scars into the cloth of your life to make a pattern that is pleasing to Him. From all that I've read so far, Kristie, you have a talent for beautiful weaving.<BR/>With great big Georgia hugs and endless HOPE...Pam Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681029046120784248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36095574.post-35755927702208347962008-10-20T22:34:00.000-05:002008-10-20T22:34:00.000-05:00Well, I AM sitting here without any pants on, but ...Well, I AM sitting here without any pants on, but it's not because you're boring me, it's because I really don't have any pants that fit.
