The picture above was taken on Nana and Heath's birthday! Yes our handsome little man was born on his special Nana's birthday. What a treat and a treasure for both of them. It is amazing how one silly little thing like your appendix, we don't even need it, can change your life in an instant. This is what has happened to our sweet, beautiful, selfless, peacemaking, amazing, perfect, little Nana. In a routine surgery she/we found out that she has cancer. Talk about take you by surprise. But that is exactly what this disease has done for us. We are shocked, humbled, and saddened every time we talk to a doctor. The bottom line is we are are going to help support her, love her, fight, and help her go through this trial in her life.... and WIN!!! The saddest part about this experience is realizing how much we have taken her for granted all this time. I have to be the first to say that I am definitely guilty of this. She bends over backwards for us and everyone else she comes in contact with. If there is one word that would describe Brenda it is SERVICE. She truly serves people on a daily basis and this is her greatest joy in life; besides her family. She is the glue that has held this family and extended family together and you don't quite appreciate her as much as you should until something as serious as this happens. I know the Lord has a plan for each of us and our lives are purely based on his timing but it doesn't always make trials such as this easy all the time. But I am grateful for the fact that I am a part of her family and get to learn from her and benefit in my life from her example. Thank you Brenda Kay Hinds... WE LOVE YOU!!!
