Great weekend, Radiation to start and Remebering my dad!

Okay since tomorrow is a little busy I figured I would blog tonight. Much to my surprise I see my way older sister has hacked in my blog again and changed my picture. What else are older sister's for except to pester you and totally humiliate you. Love ya Kiss Kiss!!! Tomorrow is the start of my radiation treatments. I must admit I am a little nervous about it. I am sure I will say it was no big deal but right now it is still the unknown. Please say a prayer that God will protect me and keep me safe.
Well this weekend was a nice weekend Bobby and I totally enjoyed our time. We got to relax and just be in love. Then at Sunday school the class was "Remember why I got married".
I thought how appropriate for the weekend since Bobby and I got to do exactly that.
We slept and laid out by the pool. We had a great time talking and a great time when nothing was said. Thank you to our dear friends for allowing us to have a get a way. Also a BIG thank you to my mom for keeping all five kiddos!!!
On a sad note tomorrow is 1 year since the death of my dad. Bobby and I visited his grave site today. It was the hardest thing to still at one year to see his grave just a patch of grass and no marker. I guess I do not understand why we can not just pay to have his veterans marker set. I guess since us three girls have no say that is the way it is. It will be that way until the double base for my dad and his wife is paid for. Until then my dad will lay there unnoticed by strangers walking by. I placed yellow roses on his grave so he could have something for the moment to mark his final resting place. I know that the maintenance workers will pick it up but it is there for now. There are many times when I have things to tell him and start to pick up the phone. There are times when I just really miss him. Not our political, money or religion discussions but just him! I love you daddy!!

Love to all,
Cara Cares

Although this is the first time that I have visited this website, I have been with you from the beginning. I have admired your strength and hurt with you when you were not so strong. But, through it all you have kept up your spirit and your faith. You have been and truly are an inspiration to us all. Each and everyday I thank God, in one way or another, for you being in my life. I truly believe that this challenging time in our lives has tought us many things. We have been forced to make many adjustments in how we view and deal with the everyday aspects of our complicated lives. I feel that this has brought us closer together. One day, we will all look back at this time in our lives and wonder. The wonder of God and all that he has done for us and for Cara. I am sure that her dad is looking down from heaven with a gleam of pride in his eye for his daughter. He has a lot to be proud of. We all do. Cara truly epitomizes a true inner strength. She is the most wonderful thing to have ever happened to not just me but ALL of our nine children. We are truly blessed to have such a wonderful wife, mother, best friend, and companion in our time on this earth. I can never put in words how truly proud I am and how much I love you.


Your loving husband
Bobby
