Hello all. It's time for an update.
I received a letter from my mom and she told me that she's been Ross' (my step dad) caregiver for awhile and hadn't gotten out to get my gift. My mom's a very generous person so for her this is hard, but she knows she needs to be with Ross. Then, she continued to say that we should keep him in our prayers the he would get well soon

(huge smiley in the letter) or that he goes home to heaven. It made me tear up like I'm doing now.
We are hopefully going to go to PA (which is about 4 and a half hours away) to a family reunion to see family who will be returning to their mission field for four years and to see Ross. It may be the last time.
Just pray. I know God has a plan and right now I can't see the path clear, but He hasn't left my side and He's still holding my hand. It's just amazing to see Ross and my mom say these things.
Stand on the rock, Mom and Ross. He will not let you falter!
Again thank you for the prayers!
