One Week Later — This time last week, we were sitting in the Daffodil Waiting Area of MD Anderson Hospital, as Tim was having brain cancer (brain tumor) surgery. Who would have ever thought today (Tim was released from the hospital on Monday), we would be sitting at home, with Tim doing really well? Not [...]

It’s Sunday Night: So I’m sitting here in the hotel, just trying to relax for a little while. This has been an incredibly long week and I am (we are) all exhausted. Jenn is staying at the hospital with Tim again tonight. I am so thankful that I got to spend the past week with [...]

Reflections of Surgery Day! I HAD A CROSS IN MY POCKET — approximately 3 weeks before surgery, my friend Carol Post, who lives in Dallas, sent me a Clinging Cross – it is a cross, cast in resin and has the appearance of olive wood – it fits perfectly in the palm of everyone’s hand. [...]

So I’m sitting in my cubicle at work, hundreds of miles away from Houston where Tim is undergoing brain surgery and a pregnant Jenn is trying not to go insane as she waits (or at least that’s what I’m imagining).

In less than 12 hours from now, Tim will be at the hospital for his surgery — WOW! So I’m sitting here waiting for Tim and Jenn to get back from the hospital after a day of testing and talking to the doctors. My mind is reflecting over the past few days of being down [...]

Working 3rd shift again, sleeping from about 2 to 9 PM every day, having your wife open the bedroom door, saying sorry to wake you but Diane is on the phone, something is wrong with Tim. It was almost like being hit with a cattle prod, instantly awake, Diane does not call me. I don’t call [...]

Some thoughts on a brain tumor. So on Tuesday the 16th of February as I was enjoying a week in Vail for some skiing, I exchanged a series of strange text messages with Tim.
