We found out today that Dusty's grandfather has throat cancer. We know no other details except he'll have diagnostic tests and will receive treatment in Memphis. He'll be 75 in a couple of weeks. I don't know if it's our age and people are getting older, but it just seems like it's one thing after another. My aunt, my dad, Dusty's mom's skin cancer treatment, Dusty's grandmother, Dusty's aunt, Dusty's grandfather, and my grandma falling last year, and now having knee replacement. While my family's side is serious, it's curable and things will wrap themselves up and be well. Dusty's family has had two deaths, and one very serious bout of cancer.
In spite of all this, I feel so thankful for my family and Dusty's family. I'm so grateful for the love of my little family. We've had a great day today. Dusty took today off to get stuff done. He hasn't done a lot outside yet, but he got some things picked up in Jackson that he's needed to do, and the kids and I did some in Jackson separately from him. The weather is gorgeous. We're about to go outside and play because both kids have just awakened. Dusty is tilling up some more ground for more garden space. The kids and I can maybe go on a bike ride around our little circle. They love that. Seth has trouble multitasking. He can't pedal, steer and look ahead of him all at the same time. He can pedal, but I have to steer for him. He can steer, but I have to push the bike and constantly remind him to look forward. It's hilarious. To me AND him. Yesterday, every time I'd say, "Seth, steer. Seth, look forward. Seth, you're going in the middle of the road. Seth, you're going off the side of the road." he'd crack up. It was amusing for all.
So if you think about it, please pray for Dusty's granddaddy, Jerry Castellaw. He's in for a big change and a lot of tests.
