Finishing Well
Stage 4 Cancer brought many challenges--and also a host of loving and praying friends. Almost-daily postings to this site are to help my friends walk with me through this journey, and to express my gratitude to them and especially to God...On 7/8/08 Carol passed through that final curtain of death and is now healed. We thank God for her life and "arrival"! Chuck
Thanks so much for your prayers as I covered the many miles this past week. It was a tremendous blessing to spend time with Carol's siblings in Illinois (see picture), with Jeremy, Julianna and Judah in Chicago, and enjoy a few days at the lake with Karin, Keith, Calli and Gavin even was able to make it back on the weekend for a brief break from his summer campground ministry with his university group. I was pleased that while covering nearly 2,000 miles with extra holiday traffic, I never saw a serious accident. The temperature in Illinois and Indiana was very much on the high side pushing the needle around the 100 degree mark most days. I have some cute pictures of great grandson Judah, but for some reason they do not want to download. I will try to add one in the next blog.
