We went to the radiation oncologist this week. We found out that the brain tumor is a Grade IV. This means it is very fast growing. We start radiation treatments Monday. Five days a week for six weeks. The doctor said without the radiation, my dad probably only has six months to live. With radiation treatment, he thinks we can get a year, maybe even two. One or two years versus six months. I'll take that. Sure, I'd rather have forever. I'd rather be the first to go. Losing another parent is not in my plan. I'm praying for a miracle. A HUGE miracle. My God is big enough to do that. I'm trusting HIM. He knows what's best.

We had pictures made last weekend with my Dad. My friend, Charity, sent me one of the pictures of my Dad by himself, via e-mail. It was a beautiful picture of my Dad smiling. Smiling! Nothing better. My Dad smiling. When I get more of the pictures next week, I'll post a few. Love you, Dad.

Thank you, Lord, for each day with my Dad. Thanking you for a miracle ahead of time.
