I lost my mother 16 years ago to cancer, it was and is still the most painful thing I have gone through in my life. That said you and your family take every moment that you have with him and cherish it, make memories, tell stories, take pictures, lots of pictures. If you do not already have it you need to get Steven Curtis Chapman's new CD Beauty Will Rise, there is so much healing and grace and just great words to help you in this great time of need. I and my family will remeber not only your father in law in prayer but your family too, because Cancer is a family disease it changes everyone... lot to the Father of Light and Healing.... let him walk you through this journey for only HE can comfort you....

I just read your “Full of Thanks” post. I have been feeling quite a bit“pessimistic” for much longer than I care to admit. The past few years have been tougher than any I ever imagined that I would go through. In short, my husband was diagnosed with Melanoma (talk about feeling like you were hit by that proverbial “BUS”)!! Thankfully, his surgery was successful and he is cancer free, at this time. After owning a thriving business for 12 years, we were forced to close it (thanks to this wonderful economy). Those are the “big” things, there have been numerous not so big things in the mix. Anyway, my point is…I have been having a “Oh woe is me, pitty party” for what seems like forever. I stumbled across your blog a few weeks ago and have enjoyed reading your posts and “borrowing” a few of your ideas (thank you very much for sharing). I think you are witty, crafty, quite the “decorating diva” and most of all “INSPIRATIONAL”…and I don’t mean just when it comes to decorating. Reading how you are determined to find the silver lining in all of the “curve balls” that life throws, made me realize that it’s time to “put on my big girl panties” and make some lemonade! Not real lemonade (although…I am from the south and I DO LOVE ME SOME LEMONADE), but, find the silver lining or “hit a grand slam” when that curve ball is thrown my way. I DO have SOOOO much to be thankful for. My husband is doing very well and he loves and adores me and our two beautiful girls. He does have a job and is the HARDEST working man on this, or any other, planet. I have the two most precious girls that God ever made. The most wonderful parents and the greatest brother on earth. And THEY are ALL that REALLY MATTER in this world. So, THANK YOU, Mrs. Thrifty Décor Chick, for being the INSPIRATION that I so desperately needed tonight. I have already said a prayer for your father-in-law. I WILL CONTINUE to pray for him and your family. Please keep us posted. I am with you in spirit (and in cyber-space). Keep the decorating tips and make-overs coming! Hold your family, especially your son, a little bit closer. May you always see the <br />mysterious” way that God is working. I promise to keep my eyes open a little bit wider! Thank you again…God speed! <br />P.S.

I try to go natural too and always end up adding some extra bling along the way :). However, I just decorated my bathroom and it's the most natural project I've done so far and I'm in love with it. Come visit me. It's feeling a bit showy-offy today :). http://bethcrabtreehunter.blogspot.com/2009/11/coastal-christmas-in-bathroom.htmlBeth@The Stories of A to Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00020016704172617145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7781670590071996754.post-90982910944286910212009-11-30T18:49:36.045-05:002009-11-30T18:49:36.045-05:00I love it!
