Bill, I think of you every single day. May the warm thoughts of all who know you, Julie, and Wendy keep you buoyed as you face the fury of this disease.
Dear Bill,
We who are so far away are grateful for the kind / gentle / but painful to hear comments in these posts, and we just want to assure you and yours of our heartfelt prayers for courage, daily strength and a strong will to continue the treatment and beat this. Greetings from the South African Lowveld, with warm hugs for you all from Peter Lawson and Karen B - we send along the sights and sounds and the memories and the assurance of our love and good wishes.
Words seem trite and my heart aches with each word. Just know that there are those who love and care that you do not even know...including myself...who have admired you from a distance. Praying for you, Wendy, Julie, your children...and embracing today in your honor.
I know that chemo is tough, and it sounds as Bill's chemo is much rougher than most. Praying for the chemo to do its job and knock out that cancer. I am heading to the Laredo Bird Festival in a couple of weeks. When I was looking over the agenda again, I saw BIll's name and was so sad knowing that he would not be able to come. I first met Bill And Julie at a Sandhill Crane Festival at the Bosque del Apache. So I know what this year's festival will be missing. All of you are doing such a good job taking care of Bill and I pray for each of you as well as I know you need extra strength and courage to live each day in the shadow of this illness.
Thank you so much for the update. Can’t begin to imagine what this journey is like for all of you. I’m glad, though, that you know and feel all of us out here rooting and praying for you. God bless.
