I decided to add this section to my blog so that I have a place to write about the events in my life that mean so much to me. I think it will also be a great place to vent and express my feelings so that I am not keeping things bottled up inside.
I suppose the best place to start here is to tell what I am currently going through. I am at a really tough place in my life in that I am facing the reality that my parents might not live much longer. My mom has been battling melanoma for nearly 3 years now. Her cancer has spread despite several different treatments. My dad has had many different illnesses over the years including kidney failure, a broken hip and heart disease. He undergoes kidney dialysis three days a week. You always know that these days will come, but when the reality of it all sets in, it is heartbreaking.
Remember to show your loved ones how much they mean to you every single day!!

Your mom is in my prayers! When I go outside and need suncreen I always think of you sharing her story.
Thanks so much Erica! We could use a lot of prayer during this trying time. I am glad to know that I made an impact in educating others in the use of sunscreen! Hugs! Stacie xo
Stacie- I’m a new follower but I really love it when bloggers are open and honest about the hard stuff too not just the easy things. I will keep you, your mom and your dad in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks for the encouragement to show our love to the important people in our life- always something that is a great reminder. You’re in my thoughts and prayers!
Thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot. I appreciate the prayers for my family! Stacie xo
Aw, Stacie, I’m so sorry you are going through this. I think about your Mom often. I know I’ve also been thinking of my Parents and In-Laws more now that they are older. Just treasure each day. Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

You are such a lovely person Stacie, it breaks my heart to know that you are having a tough time 🙁 I wish your parents health and hope the tough times are getting over soon!
Thank you for sharing? I often look at me parents and wonder if I can stop time. I know what my mom saw with her own parents and it worries me. I can’t imagine my life without them. I talk to them almost everyday but I will be calling shortly. Thinking about you and your family and sending our prayers your way.

I’m so sorry, Stacie. I’m in the same place you are regarding my parents, and it hurts so much. Prayers and hugs going out to your family.
I’m sorry Stacie. I think its the point we are at in our lives. I was talking to my husband and son about this after we lost my MIL in March. We have had so much going on in our family the past year. I think we have reached the point in life that this in what we’ll be dealing with. Doesn’t make it any easier. Your family will be in my thoughts!
