Thanks for stopping by

This blog is about our journey with life while living with cancer. John was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in February 2014. And so we walk "Side by Side." The title of the blog has been a phrase that Joyce and I have used for the past several years. It has been our way to deal with the reality that most plans and most days don't happen the way we had pictured it in our mind. And it has been our way to learn to anticipate the unexpected.

From Erin - May 24th

Hi Everyone,

For those of you that don't know me, this is John's daughter Erin.

Just a quick note to say that Dad has been in ICU since Wednesday and the prognosis isn't good right now. He's still rather coherent but we're just not sure what may happen next. I'll try to update this blog with some of the in between things that have happened, but am not sure how much I'll get to it - plus if you're signed up for updates, it may take up to 24 hours to receive notice of them.

I am flying out early tomorrow (Monday) morning from Colorado to Ohio. If you have our phone numbers, you can try that. Just know that of course everyone is calling, as he is loved so much.

Through all of this, I have been so proud of my father in his honesty in dealing with this and sharing it with all of you. While it's hard to go through, all three of us have so appreciated all of the support you continue to send our way. Thank you.

Erin (and John and Joyce)

    Not a day goes by that I don't use or say something John taught me. He changed our lives. Our prayers to all of you. Kris and Greg Webb

    Thanks, Kris. I read your comment to Dad and he was very touched.
