For those of you who aren’t connected to us by other social media, two weeks ago my father was diagnosed with stage four cancer in his abdomen. Due to the extent of its spread and other complications it is inoperable. When he discovered the news my brother was in Afghanistan, my sister in Washington State, and myself in Italy. Over the past week we and our families have returned to our home of Tennessee to spend time with our father while we can. It is an incredible gift to all be together, and more importantly, to have the chance to say goodbye. Due to the circumstances I will be staying in Tennessee likely until the end along with my sister to help my mother during this time. For that reason I will have to put the blog posts on hold for a while. My hope is that once I return to Italy I will be able to pick up where I left off. If you haven’t already, subscribe to the blog and the next time I post you will get an email. For those of you who are interested in what is going on with our family you can see the Facebook page we have setup at: http://goo.gl/X9v7ZJ . Also, some of you may not know that my father is a pastor. Even though he is now at home receiving hospice care he was able to gather enough strength to give his last sermon at the church he just began pastoring only a few months ago. This was his last message: http://goo.gl/FLjAhr  Until better times, thank you.
