Jimi, remember- Cancer is a word, not a sentence. As you know, Jody is a
breast cancer survivor. Jody and I will constantly keep Amanda in our
prayers, that she MAKES A FULL RECOVERY. Don't feeel ill toward her.
She's just trying to protect you and Teresa from the grief and pain.
Miracles do happen every day. Our prayer for Amanda is that she fight
the good
fight and come out a Winner. It's happened before. It will happen again.
Prayerfully,
Jimmy & Jody
P.S. No apologies

my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughter.
As you know i have an incurable cancer and can relate that it is
sometimes very hard to talk to anyone about it.
I was lucky that my wife and duaghter were with me when i was
diagnosed but still find it difficult to tell friends for the first
time, I dont know why your daughter did not tell you but dont hold it
against her just let her know that you are there for her and try to
spend as much time as you can together.
I sometimes think my wife is being over the top as she does not let me
out of her sight that much but then i realise the love we have for
each other makes up for everything.
Best Regards
Brian ( Birdie )

Subject: [VFB] Sometimes being a dad really sucks, a personal note,
please read, Jimi
As some may have noted over the last while I have been a bit distant
on my
daily flooding of you with my e-mails and political views. There is a
reason.
As some of you may know, most don't, since about last June our daughter
Amanda has had some medical problems with her female parts. During
Christmas
brake she alluded to the fact she "may have cancer". That caused her
mom and
me to push for answers to many questions, and meet a stone wall of non
answers. The more questions we ask, the less contact and answers we got.
Last night we were hit with a bomb shell. Having not heard from Amanda
in a
couple of days, after many attempts, Theresa called a couple of her room
mates at school, got no answers but left messages. One called her back
fairly late. It appears that her friends and room mates thought
Theresa and
I were some kind of "Monsters" because we were not there for Amanda.
It appears that Amanda found out last July that she had Ovarian
Cancer, and
it has now moved to her liver, and with all appearances, her brain. She
lever told us about the first part, let alone the progression, and we
don't
know why. Needless to say, Theresa and I are at a loss of
understanding, and
have more questions than answers now as to why she never told us
anything.
Amanda does not know that we now know what is going on. Her roommate
invited
Theresa down to stay in her room and talk to Amanda with support from her
friends. Spring break starts Friday and we are going to start today to
try
to get the funds together so she can go.
If you would, please pray that we can get answers andwill know what to do
and what to say. To say that we are at a loss of understanding would
be an
understatement.
I thought I should let you know because many of you know and love our
daughter and should know what is going on.
Jimi
A Man is born many men, but dies as only one.
“Lest I keep my complacent way
I must remember somewhere out there
a person or persons died for me today.
As long as there must be war
I ask and I must answer,
was I worth dying for?”
