9 Months to the Day
March 11th Shirley was told she had incurable cancer. December 11th, we were told there isn't going to be much more they can do for Shirley except to keep her comfortable. They did open up her bile ducts but found numerous tumors. The cancer has become very aggressive and they do not believe we have much time left with Shirley. Tomorrow they will do a CT Scan and a PET Scan to determine how much time. But no matter what they say, it will not be enough.

Dear family,
I was sorry to read about Shirley's condition. The last year has been difficult, and the first quarter of 2009 doesn't look too promising either.
Some words that I have found comforting during difficult days are shared below.
"Keep your wants, your joys, your sorrows, your cares, and your fears before God. You cannot burden Him; you cannot weary Him. He who numbers the hairs of your head is not indifferent to the wants of His children. 'The Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.' His heart of love is touched by our sorrows and even by our utterances of them. Take to Him everything that perplexes the mind. Nothing is too great for Him to bear, for He holds up worlds, He rules over all the affairs of the universe. Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him to notice. There is no chapter in our experience too dark for Him to read; there is no perplexity too difficult for Him to unravel . . . No sincere prayer [can] escape the lips, of which our heavenly Father is unobservant, or in which He takes no immediate interest." Ellen White, Steps to Christ, pg. 100.
Don't give up hope, but reassess what our hope is. If we are truly Christian, then this illness is not going to result in ultimate destruction. We will be united if we place our trust in Him who holds our lives in His hand.
Prayerfully,
Curtis
