This update has taken me some time to post in that my emotions have been crazy raw.
"Searching for MO" started when I really needed to search out the positive while going through my own Cancer scare then learning at the same time that my Dad had his own Cancer.
The journey was tough and he fought hard. Was even cancer-free for over a year.
On December 21, 2012, Dad's heart just couldn't take it anymore. The chemo and subsequent pain in his body caused him to collapse at home. My tears still flow when I remember the day he fought so hard in the hospital and coded 3 times, fighting to the very end!
The biggest lesson I've learned from my Marine Corp Dad is how to work hard in this world and fight for life! This has been the worst heartbreak to date, but I've learned so much about friendship and the support of loved ones.
My Dad would be so proud of the good that has come from this journey. He is forever remembered and loved in our hearts and I hope that you can look back at this blog for your own glimmer of hope and lessons of how to fight, no matter what the outcome. Searching always for the positive and never losing a chance to tell someone how much you love them.
Ted is at home with the Lord, with his own parents and he'll be waiting for me when it's my time to go. He is with many other wonderful souls who have also welcomed him into Heaven.
I love you Dad!

How much can a family take?
12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. - - KJV
We will have the strength to move forward through these rough times.
Now, our Aunt M is in this morning for emergency Quad Bypass surgery.
Another hit to our stress levels and family units.
More examples of mortality.
With all this, we will come together with those we love or part with our good-byes and memories. Either way, it is with the inevitable confidence that we smile, because we will see each other again with Him after we part here.
Whether we are now separated by location or events, we have lived, loved, laughed and shared a lifetime of family. We rejoice in the moments we have NOW and live to enjoy each moment, even if tinged with pain and strife.
God Bless our Aunt M and the doctors working on her today.

The Heart of Friends
Feeling all-around 'yukky' today. It's been the good friends around me who are keeping me going and lifting my spirit when I cannot lift my own. I was not myself when I snapped at a couple of people yesterday afternoon, having a bad Monday. It upset me that I took out my anger on them and I felt the urgent need to apologize to both of them. What wonderful hearts of friends. They are so forgiving and wonderful that they understood completely after a talk of the details.
May they be forgiven for anything today just as they have forgiven me.
Take a minute to appreciate your friends today. This was indeed a reminder of how much we all need each other, during good and bad.

Keep Hope alive everyone.
We will beat cancer.
