November

Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month

This month is pancreatic cancer awareness month. As I looked up info on this I realized that it is known as the lethal cancer because the survival rate is so low bc normally not found until it is far progressed. This is def the case with my papaw even if he had not been on dialysis he would not have been able to fight this bc it was too far progressed. This has been hard on me and my whole family. I feel so empty at times and wonder how the world continues to go on when I feel like my life has just stopped. My papaw was not just my papaw but my dad and my friend and I will forever miss him.

This year in general has been hard. Multiply surgeries, house flooding, money issues, miscarriaged, and lost my papaw. I know there are so many people that worse things have happened but it doesnt make it any easier. The pain is still so real. My mamaw also fell yesterday, Im so thankful that she was ok. A few brusises and some discomfort but thankfully nothing is broken.

It has been very hard being so far away from my family. I talk mamaw at least once a day and my mom at least every couple. I wish I could just move them up here with me. I do realize that we all do have our lives and that is def something my papaw would want is for us to cont to LIVE.

Jeremy excepted a pastorit of a church close to us and I am very excited about the church and what God has in store for us. Looking forward to a new year.
