Prayer request

We went to Elitch Gardens with Jan and David, on Saturday. We had such a good time. I got soaked when Laura and I did the River Rapids. We watched the Mercy Me concert that was included in our admission. It was truly a great day. Just as we got off the last ride of the night, Tom got a call from his brother, Skip. He told us he was at the Denver Airport with his fiance. First of all, we didn't know he was dating anyone and secondly we had no idea he was coming into town.

He met up with us at home around eleven pm. We were all tired, but Jan said that we all had to talk. We sat around our kitchen table. Tom and I were sure that Skip was going to tell us that he and Barbara were getting married. That was not what he said. He told us that he will have surgery on Thursday to determine how bad and what stage he is suffering with esophageal cancer. It took our breath away. Please say a prayer for him. We are hoping that things are'nt too bad.

Barbara was delightful and we just love her. Dad was so surprised to see Skip, especially on Father's Day. We grilled pork tenderloin and Tira Misu for dessert. It was great to just catch up with Skip.

I hope all of you had a great Father's Day.
