Dear Friends:
Keep praying! Dad is feeling well and knows about and appreciates all your prayers. Thank you! I was home with mom and dad last week. We had a wonderful time laughing and taking care of business. Some of the business was pleasant and other was not--either way I enjoyed being with mom and dad.
This past week dad began his second round of chemo and he began radiation. He has completed his first week of radiation and has five more to go. Mom and dad will travel to Bangor each Sunday and return to Calais on Friday--weather permitting. It is a long drive and I know as time goes on it will get longer.
Karl, my older brother, will visit mom and dad for Christmas. Pray for his safe travels.
As we approach the birthday of Jesus, think about all the gifts you have already received. I have been blessed with the gift of eternal life, a wonderful family, health, employment and hope. Whatever your gifts are--appreciate them.
Have a wonderfully Merry Christmas and may your new year bring lots of adventure and joy!
Christina
