Beth’s Story

Site created on October 27, 2019

Her story actually began in June of 2018 . We had just sold the house to move in with her in-laws . And start building a new house added on to in-laws house. She was so excited never had nothing brand new like this . So all the fun of getting to plan and design something of her own. But we had also moved to take care of my father. Who was battling liver cancer. But everything was going as planned. We had started the new house. Was getting excited about the holidays.  
  And in October she developed a cough just thought the seasons changes probably just a cold. So after a couple of months with cough hanging on. She went to the doctor  . She had noticed a swollen lymph node. No worry doctor gave some antibiotics . But after a few weeks nothing changed they did a scan of her neck area to check. A P.A. actually saw something in the corner of one of the scans. And said to just be cautious she ordered a lung scan. And wanted us to see a cancer doctor to be in the safe side. We made thru the holidays. Then in January our journey  began. We got the news she had stage 4 Lung cancer . We were broken but also knew God was in control. And since then we have not given into that. He still in control. We lost Dad in July he fought a great fight.and in the end the cancer didn't get him. He went like he wanted. But this is our journey this is Beth's story and How God has put us on this journey . Where we can share our day to day journey and everything God is doing in our life's. The ups and the downs. The marvelous God we serve. I say ...as always we love you and are praying for you too...

Journal entry by Mike Rainwater

As we end this year..it's not been the year I wanted or expected..each day brings a new challenge. Sometimes it's just something as little as a smell. Or just wanting to feel her touch..
God comfort has been a blessing.. Somedays it takes all I can do ..just to find the words to pray. And in those times I just bow and let God just hold me..He says our tears are bottle up he is a God that cares so deeply for us he bottles our tears.. wow I can't even imagine..
 We going into a new year lots of changes for me. Alot of first already been alot of first. But I just get up in the morning pray and set out for what the day brings. 
I gonna keep this open for now maybe just a place where everyone can just check in on me and the boys. Beth always wanted to go out west to see the Grand canyon..we had many talks about traveling by train. I had always said I was going to take her. I got to firgure it all out but I want to take the boys and make sure her dream comes true.  Man life is short ...it's like the breath of a Buffalo on a cold morning. That quick. Don't put off telling someone you love them. We get so caught up in the world. Dont walk away before you say I love you.. as always I love you all and praying for you too..
