Makes me want to cry. My wife just found out her breast cancer has progressed to stage four… bone, lung, liver mets. We are hopelessly lost.

My goodness, Eldon, what a beautiful post. I am new to your blog, but want to say how inspired I am by your wife, and by your love for her and complete devotion. It’s so touching. Thank you for the reminder about what really matters, and for your beautiful work in organizing people and raising money. Win Susan!

I am at a loss for words, as I read your story that readily comes from your heart. I feel your pain and frustration in the aspect, there’s not a damn thing you can do to make it all better. I have a niece who is 14 years old, she has endured numerous open-heart surgeries since birth, was fortunate to get and survive a heart-transplant at 9 years old, only then to get cancer at 13 years old…survived cancer and chemo to go into heart rejection, surpasses that and is now in heart-failure, along with diabetes and arthritis, there will be no more heart-transplants, or surgeries. After awhile you begin to feel numb to the hopes and dreams that have or are being lost for that loved one, then anger, then sadness and then it all seems to cycle over again…I ramble, sorry…

I wish your wife comfort, peace and continued strength as well as you and your family. May god bless her with one of his many miracles.

Best wishes and prayers,

Sabrina

Oh, Lord, we lift up this precious family. Bind their hearts with Your love and peace during this trial. Be present in their home through friends and family, through words and deeds. Lay Your hand of healing and comfort on Susan. Amen.

My thoughts are with you all! And every time I hop on my cruiser bike I will pray for you.

Oh how my heart goes out to you and Susan. God bless that beautiful soul and your family. Heartbreaking as it is to watch and experience this beast we call cancer, the true heart and soul of people shine through in these moments. I lost my lovely 28 year old daughter to brain cancer three years ago and I never fail to be in awe of how she handles her illness, life and love of her little girls.
You are in my prayers every day. Bless you all.

As the daughter of an ovarian cancer survivor I understand the amazing fight some cancer patients display…it amazing to see the strength in them. My heart felt prayers go out to you and your family and especially your wife, may God grant you some form of peace in this trying time. As a mother who has buried two children (twin girls) I can tell you from experience that the human heart can withstand great and aweful pain but still have an unending capacity for joy…may you find great joy in your time with Susan.
