As I sit here looking over the campground which has been inundated with smoke from the Northern Manitoba Forest Fires...its hard to think that we are already on week 5 of Dad's Treatments. Whats even harder to believe is that Dad still hasn't experienced ANY adverse reactions to his treatments. Yes you read that correctly...he is still doing AMAZING and looks as healthy as he did on May 28th (the day before this all happened)!! We have been super blessed with how well things are going for him. I keep waiting for the shoe to fall but the way things are looking...I don't think it is going to! We have chosen to live in the Faith that Dad can be completely healed from this cancer. There have been so many prayers sent up for him that it really is humbling!

Yup you read that right...he is starting a new type of Chemo treatment. He had his followup appointment with his Oncologist yesterday in Winnipeg. The results are not...

I have had words flow out of me for the past 2.5 years for this blog keeping you all informed but this Obit is the finale, it’s the end, my Dad is at rest and not here with us anymore! Thank you to Mom for helping me get the words out. BUT guess what??? We did win the battle…THE BEAST is gone and my Dad has been ultimately HEALED!! Rest easy Dad…I love you beyond words and miss you greatly!
