Happy Christmas from Rooth and Ryon

| Why the long face? |
On a separate note, my aunt was diagnosed with stomach cancer the week of Thanksgiving and had an operation last week to have part of her stomach removed. Post-op, she's been classified as having a more advanced stage of stomach cancer, which is not something that we wanted to hear, and will begin chemo as soon as she heals from her surgery. Our family is staying optimistic and keeping the faith but we're worried at the same time. Hold your friends and family closer this holiday season and give thanks for good health.
I'm thinking of you all the next few days. Wishing you peace and calm.

Happy Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI do hope your Aunt is feeling alright and that things get better with her...hope is the best we can do with these scary situations. Sending good vibes your way...
The holidays can be really stressful, yet fun. It still amuses me whenever all of the long preps get eaten just like that. I suppose that's the best compliment anyway, when the plates are empty. Sorry to hear about your Aunt. I'm sending you positive thoughts and prayers for her strength and healing.
ReplyDeleteYou know the stories of failed baking/cooking are stories that are funny forever and worth the stress at the time {one time my mom made mashed potatoes that tasted like cigarettes and didn't tell me to see what I would do - not sure how this happened because no one smokes}.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your aunt. You know I've been there and I am there for anything you or she needs. Anything at all. I'll be pulling for her to make a complete recovery!
How did I miss this post? Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI'm so terribly sorry to hear about your aunt. You all will be in my thoughts and prayers. And even though the season is tinged with blue, I hope you're able to soak in some goodness on this 5th day of Christmas!
Oh, I'm so sorry about your aunt, Roothers. That is so devastating. I hope Christmas brought you guys together, as well as a renewed sense of strength going forward, especially as she starts chemo. Thinking of you guys! xo
ReplyDeleteHope your Christmas was a wonderful, blessed on Ruth, and here's to a great year ahead! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really sorry about your aunt's diagnosis, it's hard to have a loved one with a serious illness. I hope your family managed to still enjoy each other's company and find some peace and some reasons to celebrate this Holiday Season! Here's hoping that 2015 will bring good news!
ReplyDeleteHope you were able to enjoy the time with family despite all the preparations. I was making preps up to the evening before we left. A tad bit stressed but still better than last year. Next year, I'll do even better.
ReplyDeleteSo so sorry about your aunt. I wish her comfort during her treatment and speedy recovery.
It's almost 2015... May it bring you joy and happiness. Bottoms (almost) up!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear about your aunt. Staying optimistic and willing good vibes from the universe are great things to do in a rough time.
ReplyDeleteI hope you had the merriest possible Christmas and a happy new year. Xo
