We had a fun Chrismas this year. I spent a lot of time with just Co and Kesha. We had lots of fun and this is the first Christmas where Cohen actually knew what was going on. She loved opening all her gifts. She got spoiled for sure! We also spent some good time with [...]

I put together this video for my Dad’s funeral. It is made up with a bunch of scanned photos, some newer ones, and a couple great songs. The first tune is “The Times They Are A Changin” by Bob Dylan. The second is “That Great Day” by Jonny Lang. A lot of people tell me [...]

The drive home was long, but a little easier this time. I got a new deck for my car that connects to my ipod, so I was able to listen to some podcasts and some an audiobook on the way home. I bought The Shack from audible.com. It was a long 8.5 hours to listen [...]

Today my Dad died at 12:45pm. I was there in the room with him with my two sisters and my mom. It was such a peaceful thing. Way different than I thought. I am so happy to know that he is free from pain, but so sad that I will not see him again this [...]

I am back in Calgary now. I drove about a hundred million miles in the last month. I am tired as heck and I feel like I could literally die. Aside from that, here is an update on my Dad…
When he was first diagnosed they were able to put a stent in his bile duct [...]

It is either very late or very early. I can’t tell. My Dad went into the hospital today because of some bad pains. He is getting all sorts of tests done today. Pray for him because he is very uncomfortable. Just sitting up in his bed takes his breath away. The Docs are putting him [...]

It has been a while since my last post, but I have been VERY busy. We took another 21 hour road trip up to Canada to visit my Dad. We are up here now, and will leave on Friday. Cohen was absolutely perfect in the car. She slept for 7 or 8 hours, and was [...]

I made it back into the states on Wednesday morning around 2:30am. I slept until noon, and then it was back to the ol’ grind today. I already miss being with my Family. It was so nice for all of us to be together. I am going back in 3 weeks for another 8 days. [...]

Today my Dad met with the specialist. All 3 of us kids went with him. It was a tough day, but it was good to get some answers. Here’s what we know. It isn’t pancreatic cancer — it is bilary cancer that has spread to his liver and lymphnodes. Since it has spread to his [...]

My dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer last night. It was a pretty big shock to all of us. I am leaving this morning to drive up and spend some time with him. Please pray for our family and my dad as he goes through this. He is a strong believer as of 8 years [...]
