Round 4 has come...

Well.. Mom had her fourth round of chemotherapy on Tuesday.  Dad and I sat with her the whole time.  We read magazines, talked, and laughed.  Dad watched some desperate housewives on the tv.  He cracks up watching this show and I think it's adorable.  

We met a nice man who was getting a couple blood transfusions in the chair next to mom.  His name was Dave, who is battling leukemia. He had the most pleasant laugh I've heard in a while. 

 Kara was mom's nurse again.  She always makes this horrible experience just a little bit better. 

I wish mom would just not have this anymore.

I want things to be normal again.

I want to believe that God is taking care of all of this and he has a plan.

I'm tired of being sad. 

I am thankful for my sisters.  They know exactly what I'm going through.

I need hope, because sometimes it's difficult finding it when I see mom in pain.

Please cancer, will you just go away?

I found this poem on the internet looking for some hope.. It gave me some strength tonight.

What Cancer Cannot Do

Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot shatter hope.
It cannot corrode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the Spirit.
