Hi friends,

I'm not excited to be sharing this post, but I know a lot of you would want to know what's going on. Within the last couple of weeks, dad (Terry Hester) has been undergoing testing that ultimately led to a cancer diagnosis. He has a tumor in his throat, and two cancerous lymph nodes in his neck. I've started a CaringBridge for dad, which is where we will be posting updates about treatment and how he's doing. I've shared more details about what we know so far there.

If you'd like to follow along, you can sign up for updates on that site at www.caringbridge.org/visit/terryhester. I will not be posting anymore at this site address or responding to comments here.

We covet your prayer for healing and encouragement as this is obviously hard to walk through at any time, much less after the journey we've just been on. Please understand if we don't answer phone calls, texts, or comments right now. But know that we're so grateful for your friendship and love!

~Lauren
