One more week . . . .

Well, this is it . . . . the last week left before we start. I am anxious for him to get started but am scared at the same time. After this point our lives will never be the same. I am at peace with all this, and know that Brian is going to be just fine, but I am also scared to death. I am afraid to see the man I love suffer. He has always been the rock, he has always been the one that has been there for me through all of my surgeries, sicknesses, etc. Now the tables are turned and I have to be the strong one now. I hope that I don't fail. Everyone keeps telling me that I'm the rock of this family, but I have been strong because I had a strong husband to stand behind me. He's not afraid of this, so why am I? I just have to move ahead and not think about it and deal with what comes. Wish me luck!

  2. Dalene you will be surprised by how strong you will be! I never thought I could handle all I have been handed in the last 4 years of my life but you will become strong watching your amazing husband handle all of the crap he is about to be handed! I think I was only strong because Caleb helped make me srong! Lean on your friends and family when you need help that is what they are there for. I know I could have never made it with out my friends and family! I am always here if I can help in anyway! Sending my prayers and my hugs to you and to all of your family! I know you can do this and Brian will be strong still just in a little different way!

  3. Dalene and Brian...
    You two have been inspiriing to everyone in our family! I know you will overpower this demon and all the obstacles you may face! I am so sorry to hear the news I have been praying everynight for you and your family. I have a few family members that have beat cancer and I am confident that this will be the case for Brian, I know that it is hard to stay positive at a time like this however it will help Brian much more :0)
    Since moving here your family has been the best neighbors that we could have asked for. I sincerely appreciate everything Brian does for the kids and all the support he has been with household issues we have had in the past... there truly is not a person that is as thoughtful and caring as Brian!! I will do anything I can for your family! Please just let the kids know if they need something just stop by or give us a call we are all here for them and will be praying for the BEST!!!

    Love,
    Carrie and Andre
