I debated on whether I wanted to share this on my blog for many days. I am a private person but I also thrive on using my experiences to help others. After much prayer I have decided to share some of my experience over the last month in hopes it will help someone else.
August 31, 2014 was the beginning of a whirlwind that is still spinning. This was the day my husband and I took my Dad to the ER and found out he had double pneumonia. We lost my Dad September 10. It was the hardest day I have gone through in this life. My Dad will forever be in my memory and forever run through my veins. I will never know another man like him. The love of a daughter and her Daddy is something that can never be replaced. I think of him everyday and realize this is something you never get over but you learn to live with. The loss is something I carry with me always but with God helping me every step I know I can walk with a lighter load.
Two days after returning to Nashville from my Dads memorial I found out there was a possibility I have ovarian cancer and could not birth children. The loss of the possibility of having children very quickly turned into the need to heal my body. The Doctor told me I needed immediate surgery. I had my surgery 7 days later, finding out it was indeed ovarian cancer and I have Chemotherapy ahead. I do not know what the future holds for me but I do know that God will be with me. God is giving me a peace in the middle of this whirlwind around me. My Dad taught me to be strong and I am going to use all that strength to get through this bump in the road. Everyday God shows me little signs of his presence.
