2024 has been a difficult year for David and me health-wise. There are still unresolved health issues from my visit to The Mayo Clinic for which I have several specialists to see in 2025. The most difficult has been that David was diagnosed with three types of cancer this year. The first was CLL Leukemia, Skin Cancer, and most recently Small Cell Lymphocytic Lymphoma. It is common for Skin Cancer to follow Leukemia but the Lymphoma was quite a surprise. Leukemia and Lymphoma are two different cancers and very alarming to me. We’re still waiting to see if radiation treatment is the next step.
We don’t focus on it or the future, we rarely talk about it except after doctor appointments. We focus on the blessings we have and live life for tomorrow.
We know God has a plan for each of us and we are cool with his plan.

Melinda, my heart aches for what you and David are going through. The strength and faith you both show in the face of these challenges are truly humbling. Please know that I am lifting you both up in prayer, asking for healing, peace, and wisdom for the doctors guiding David’s care.
I want to share a scripture that I hope brings you comfort: “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” (Psalm 34:18). God’s presence is near, even in the hardest moments, and He sees your faith and trust in Him.
God Bless You both, today and always.
