Journal entry by Mary Anne Tinnell —
Yesterday was chemo #6 - Carol Pratt took me and we had so much fun I forgot to take a picture! Bobby's brother, Randy, is in critical condition. He has a lot of Bobby's characteristics; big blue eyes, funny, keeps all of us Tinnell's together and laughing. PLEASE PRAY FOR HIM. With all that is going on with him it made me think about how Bobby and I had 15 wonderful years together, 11 of which he had multiple doc appointments, tests, procedures and then two liver transplants. We had fun no matter what, but it took a toll on us financially. Had friends not put together a Chili Supper/Silent Auction, I would not have had the money for his cremation. You can have the best insurance in the world, but when you have multiple physicians/tests/procedures for eleven years, money goes. I am still paying on one of those expenses and then got this cancer diagnosis. Who would have thought?! I thought I'd get it paid off and have time to save to travel. All I know is that God is good and everything will work out! I thank all of you for your facebook well wishes, texts, emails, cards and surprises in the mail - makes me feel like a kid again when I get the mail. You ALL make me SO happy! Hug all your family members each and every day! xoxoxoxoxo
