A rough year

The end of 2006 was rough for us. If you have not heard, Janet's mom (Ms Pat) had been diagnosed with a form of lung cancer last year. Since her treatments would be in Hattiesburg, she started staying with us during the weekdays around Halloween. After a few weeks of treatments, Ms Pat became too weak to travel home on the weekends, so she stayed with us full time (in fact her family would come and stay with us on weekends since she couldn't go home).

My work really thinned out the last part of the year. That and some other family matters made Christmas very difficult (to say the least, hence my post below).

Ms Pat has since had her operation and the cancer was successfully removed. She is in recovery and is getting stronger every day.

My work has picked up and we are steadily catching up.
