Since Daddy's melanoma
Lump, nodes are swollen
Daddy's special day
Brought news we'd hoped not to hear
Scans do not look good
Hope springs eternal
Our doctors are fantastic
Friends and family, too
Could be something new
Yet surgery is a must
Husband is so brave
Whether an adult
or frightened eight-year-old child
Anxiety stinks
Haiku to announce
May seem a very poor choice
Gets my mind off it
Greedily I ask
If you are a praying kind
Please remember us.
We DO have all good reason for optimism...namely my husband's sense of humor, his sense of fight, his love of his children and me, and the knowledge that we're never alone, and have such reason for thankfulness. Treasuring each day...and know we'll have many, many more to come.

Ok sweetness, another moment where you can really make me teary. Love you all. Mary
No no NO! That is not acceptable news at any time of year, birthday or none.
Super strong and healthy thoughts are being sent from here down to Virginia. I hope the surgery goes perfectly, and the recovery is quick, easy, and complete.
Hugs to all of you.
OH Cheryl...I am so sorry to hear this. I remember you said the other day that you had a lot going on and some bad news. Didn't expect this. I will surely keep you and Double Daddy in my thoughts and prayers. *hugs*
Keeping you all in my thoughts. I've had several family members fight melanoma, it's scary but you will get through it.
We are with you in thoughts and prayers and optimism every step of the way.

Of course... prayers streaming in from PA... Will have everyone I know (all of my prayer warriors) put to work ASAP.

Cheryl, saying a prayer especially for your husband. I'm afraid God may be a little sick of hearing from me this week. It has been such a terrible week on so many levels.
Ugh! I'm so sorry to hear this news! You can bet we will be sending the prayers up around the clock. Hold tight to your family and to your faith - lots of extra hugs and snuggles, and you can count of many, many of us to lift up that faith for you, too.
Oh I am praying, I am praying - you better believe it. Hang in their.
oh, Cheryl! Praying God heals Double Daddy, and Mary protects your family, under her mantle. Please keep us posted.
I will certainly pray for you. Keep us posted.
Oh Cheryl - how did I miss this post? Of course I am sorry to hear this news, but I will pray that you and your beautiful family are held firmly in God's grace and that you will find peace and strength through all of this. Please know that I am thinking of you!
Prayers for Double Daddy's health and peace for you all are coming from CA.
Many hugs...
I am the praying kind...and I will do just that for all of you.
Truly, tonight's family prayer time is for you.
Blessings.
Love, hugs, and prayers. You and your dear family are in my heart.
Cheryl, I haven't popped over in a bit, but Lisa (Are we there yet?) mentioned needing prayers -- so I just want you to know I'm on it! :) I truly believe even the blogosphere is a wonderful place to find support, encouragement and prayers!
Hugs, honey!
