Welcome to my web site. God Bless!
I am married to Allan, he is eleven years older than me. He works for a power plant, and I am a housewife. We live in a fairly small town. One where just about everyone knows everyone else. We don’t have any children together, but he has 3 from a previous marraige. His oldest son is married and has a baby girl. His daughter is currently attending college to become a nurse. His youngest son is still in high school.
I have one sister and one brother both are happily married. My sister has three kids. Her eldest daughter has the cutest little girl. And my brother and his wife have three girls. The newest baby was born on July 6th, 2001.
My mother is the best mother ever! We are best friends. My father passed away when I was 15 years old. I miss him terribly.
I met my husband on a blind date, and three months later we were married! But three months into the marriage, we found out that he had developed melanoma! I was scared to death, I thought why was this happening? We were meant to be together, and now so soon, he has developed CANCER!!!! We were also living in an apartment and trying to build a house. It was a mess! We were both under a lot of stress.
Well, he had to have 2 surgeries. First, they cut off the mole that was cancerous and checked the surrounding tissue to see if it was cancerous too. Well, it was! So he had to have a second surgery. They injected dye into him and followed it to a lymph node. They removed that lymph node, to see if it was cancerous, and it was also! So they ended up taking all of the lymph nodes out from under his left arm.
I wanted to add here, that the one lymph node that the dye led to was the only cancerous one out of the 12 they removed. I asked the surgeon if it was possible that the dye could have led to another lymp node that was not cancerous, and he said it was very possible! And if that had happened, they would NOT have
removed any lymph nodes. Which means that the cancerous
one would have still been in there!! So I believe that
it was a miracle that the dye led to that one and only
cancerous lymph node! *S* AMEN! I was scared to death. But I kept hearing God tell me, "Trust Me". So I tried so hard to do just that, but it wasn't easy. Things did not look good! Well he had to take a year of chemotherapy which made him depressed and he didn't feel well most of the time. This was hard on a newly married couple. We hadn't really begun to know each other. But I believe it brought us closer together. It has been 5 years since his treatments and he is doing great! Praise God! We have so much to be thankful for, and I'm sure that you do too. If you would just think about the good things in your life and try not to focus on the bad, it will be so much better. Believe me.
I just wanted to add here that we have been married going on 6 years in April of 2003. We have had some very, very tough times...at times I thought we would be seperating. We are working through these problems, cause I believe that God wants us to be married. We have had financial problems due to the cancer and building a new home, which we did have to end up selling after 3 years. :( But then we found a beautiful home, we both loved it soo sooo very much, but after 1 year there, we realized we couldn't make the payments. So, we had to move once again. Financial difficulties are very hard on couples. I mean, it is hard on anyone, but when you are married, it really creates tensions between the two of you. And can easily erupt into huge fights!
We are currently living in a very small apartment. He did not want to buy another home, the loss of the other two was just too much to take. And I am finding it very hard to be happy here. But I know God is with me, I know he will never leave me, and thank God for that! I simply could not go on if He wasn't with me.
Times do get hard, bad things do happen to good people. But we must always realize that God is there. And no weapon formed against us will prosper. We will win! We have already won, we are saved by the grace of God. Thank you, Lord! So, just hang in there when the odds are stacked up against you. Hold on to the Lord.
