Prayers Coveted

As many of you know, one of Hays's best friends, Chase, has been battling brain cancer for several years.  He has been a trooper and his mom has been absolutely amazing throughout the process.  This has been one roller coaster after another for Chase and his mother and their family.  Good news then bad news and then sort of good news and then terrible news and then some hope and then hope only in God because the news from the doctors is so gloomy. . .and on and on.  Below is Melissa's (Chase's mom) most recent blog post:

A quick update - we are in Little Rock - Chase had an MRI today (that in itself is a journal update - what a crazy morning!).  We have decided that since surgery is an option, we are moving forward in that direction.  Surgery is scheduled Thursday morning at 7:00 a.m.  Professor will be doing it along with his team.  We are once again, hoping and believing for a successful surgery; complete removal of the tumor, no weakness to Chase's body, and quick healing/recovery.  As always...AS ALWAYS, we are grateful for God's people who diligently lift Chase up in prayer - we know the power of it!!!  We have seen it, we have felt it, we have experienced it in ways no one can imagine...I am humbled and in awe of God and His awesomeness.  Professor stated today that Chase is a "medical marvel" in that his condition is not one that gave much hope for his future.  We are believing in the "marvel", the "miracle" of his healing!

Please pray.  God is a God of miracles and I believe he can heal Chase.  Please pray!!!

The Grief of a Stepmom

The grief of a stepmom.  This post has had so many titles:  The Invisible Grief of a Stepmom, The Silent Grief of a Stepmom, The Lonely Grief of a Stepmom. . . the grief of a stepmom is like no other grief because it feels so homeless. My stepson died a few weeks ago.   Marc and I have only been married eight months and Mackay, my stepson, lived in NYC and we rarely got to see him (he didn't get to come to the wedding or Cabo and didn't stay with us when he came to town), so I didn't have much of a relationship with him.  So there is a weird layer of loosing someone I hardly knew and I feel like that is the layer that makes the most sense to everyone.   While the family was mourning, I was the one organizing all of the meals coming in from our wonderful friends and neighbors, I was cleaning up one meal and setting up for the next.  I was keeping the house in order and making sure Marc was able to surround himself with the friends and family he needed to make it through the

Should've Said No. . . ?

Andy proposed during a curtain call of Me and My Girl , a musical in which he played an old man who went most of his life without telling the woman he loved that he loved her... Twenty-three years ago today Andy asked me to marry him. . . .  he was my best friend and I thought he was the love of my life.  Should I have said no? I don't know how many times I have now been asked a version of that question in the past couple of years and I cannot count the number of times I have asked myself that question over the past decade, but it is a dumb question with no great answer. If I would have said no 23 years ago, I would have saved myself from so many tears and so much pain, but I would have missed so much laughter and so many exciting firsts and I would be such a different person. . . . Because of this day, 23 years ago, I am who I am and I have so much to be thankful for. Because of this day, 23 years ago, I have five of the best kids on the planet.  They are t

Mother's Day Thoughts

I've been feeling so many Mother's Day feels this weekend.  For starters, my big kids came home to surprise me and that was the most wonderful thing!  I remember Mother's Day 2017 when I cried because Hays was a Senior in high school and heading to Texas A&M and I thought it would be my last Mother's Day with my five all together. . . . and yesterday proved those tears unnecessary!  And then, as if that wasn't more than I could ever wish for, Marc spoiled me like I have never been spoiled before.  I am consistently blown away and humbled by how much he appreciates me and shows me his appreciation with words, gifts, acts of service and more.  I am so grateful for this husband of mine and the way he loves me and shows our kids what selfless love is supposed to look like! But even before yesterday, I've been thinking a lot about all of the different dimensions of motherhood I now experience and it is shaping me into a new and stronger and more compassionate and
