July 15th
It is hard to know what to say about what is happening. Robert remains at Gilchrist Hospice Center and that is telling- in and of itself. He went there for symptom management and now the symptom management continues for different reasons. Robert's health has changed dramatically in the two weeks that he has been there. I can not express the details tonight as today has been a very emotional day. The staff at the hospice are doing their best to keep Robert comfortable and pain free. It is obvious - even without test - that the diseases are progressing. Robert still recognizes us and we are thankful for the moments of connectedness that we capture. He is a fighter and our superhero. We pray for peace and comfort. We pray for the people who care for Robert to find the ability to continue to care for those that are so ill and often unable to express their wants and needs. We pray that everyone who supports us will know how powerful their good thoughts and good deeds have been in helping us to find white light during a time of darkness.

Tammy you know there are so many of us who think of you, Robert, and the boys daily, and moment by moment. You all show us such admirable strength and courage. With all our prayers lifting you and Robert up, I hope you continue to feel and find that deep faith that is sustaining for your family, and to accept the un-understandable.
Just as you find it difficult to find words to describe all the day to day emotions and status of Robert's health, I too can't find the words that will convey the depth of my care and concern for all of you. I just want you to know my family is thinking of you continuously and praying for your family.
Tonight we will be praying for comfort for Robert, and insight and compassion for Robert's caretakers.
You are loved.
Tami,
I think of you often and pray for you, the kids and Robert with my kids. You are a strong a couragous person. Sometimes it does take hardship, trials and tribulations to know just how thankful we are and should be. You are so blessed to have so many friends and family to support you. Know that I too am here if you need anything.

Tammy,
God bless you and your family. I wish for you all serenity and peace as the road as the road appears to take sharp and scary turns. Try not to panic, continue to breath, and stay in the moments of connectedness and love. I am so sorry you are going through this. Please remember that you are never alone. You are supported and you are good hands.
Linda, Brandon & Chad
p.s. please tell the boys that miss linda is going to put them in her pocket when she sees them! :)
