I haven't been blogging much as I have been pondering and finding direction in my new stage of life but today I share just because I have a little anxiety and some nerves.
Two weeks ago my brother called. There was a huge flair of emotion in his voice and he was having trouble getting words out.
I asked him what was wrong and there was still silence. I was so scared. I honestly didn't know what could have happened.
He was on his way to the Mayo clinic and the results of his visit were a brain tumor. Although doctors are fairly sure that it is benign this is a life change no one expects in their early 50's.
He will have surgery tomorrow and although I have faith in the Lord to guide his medical teams the what ifs loom in the back of one's mind.
Family and Consumer Sciences and the teaching that the professionals in our field help all ages cope and deal with these life zings and I am very grateful for each of the components in my field.
I hope that the few of you that follow my sporadic posts will keep my brother in your prayers for good health and well being.
Very sincerely,
Your retired FACS teacher, Jane
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Wishing the best outcome possible for your brother!
