Last Friday I had to take an unexpected trip to Sydney. {hence my absence here} I got the call at lunch time that my young cousin, whom has been fighting cancer, had been taken into intensive care. My brother and I booked flights and headed there as soon as we could. I'm not going to go into too much detail, but I don't think the outcome will be good. I have written about Scott here before. I am so glad we went to see him. It was a very emotional and stressful weekend, most of it was spent in at RPA, with the exception of a nice meal and drink here and there. And the added benefit of spending time with my family and being with both my brothers.
I can't tell you though, how much I missed my little ones. The longest time I have been away from them and hubs, I was so happy when we arrived home last night. Nothing beats being at home.
Scott turned eighteen yesterday, far to young to be going through something like this.
If you pray, could I ask you to spare one for him?

Oh Jody, I have no words but Scott will be in my thoughts from now on x

Terribly sad. Lighting a candle with him in my thoughts.

ReplyDeleteI know exactly how you would have missed your own family after being away at a difficult and emotional time.
Big hugs to you xx
I am not a pray-er either but I will ask the universe to take care of him and your family. xx
ReplyDeleteFriends of ours lost their 18 year old son not so long ago to Cancer. It is so wrong. Just so, so wrong. My heart breaks for anyone who has to go through this. My thoughts are with you all. xx
ReplyDeleteI will keep him in my thoughts. sending love to you and your family. <3
ReplyDeleteoh jody, my heart is breaking for you and scott, and your entire family. I know how you are feeling, we lost our cousin last year to pancreatic cancer - he was 29. he suffered symptoms for nearly two years and continued to see his local doctors, until they finally got a second opinion that changed his and his family's life forever. 14mths later he lost his battle. scott and your family will be in my prayers. such a deeply emotional time for you all right now, big hugs xx
ReplyDeleteWill say a little prayer tonight for you and your family. So glad you got a chance to go up there honey, as hard as it must have been xx
ReplyDeleteJeuz Jody, that brings tears to my eyes. I don't think it would matter how long you were away from your little ones, I think it's the reason you were away that would really hone home why you miss them so much. Reminding you to be grateful for them, which is clearly evident every day on your blog.
ReplyDeletethinking of you and your family.
So sorry to hear Scott is so unwell,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family you have
You're all in my thought and prayers
Xx
Oh goodness Jody, I am so incredibly sorry to hear about your brave nephew Scott. I do remember reading about him previously. A terribly unfair thing to happen. Strength and positive vibes being sent to you and your family, for whatever may be. Thinking of you. Beautiful photo of your babies xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh lovely, so sorry to hear about Scott. It truly is far too young to be facing such grave illness and my heart goes out to you and your family. xx
ReplyDeleteThat is so incredibly sad and heartbreaking. Thinking of you and Scott and your whole family.xoxo
