Fitz

First of all, you guys are awesome. You really came through for me this weekend. Because of my blog post about J being gone this weekend, Kiran and I had lunch at CFA with an old middle/high school friend and we walked around the beautiful lake at Furman with a college friend and her son. And I fully intend to blog about that later.

But this blog is about the Fitz Fam. Last night, I was able to hang out all my brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews on my side as well as my dad's brothers and sister-in-law. I always love it when my dad's two brothers come to town. There is always lots of laughing (Did you know there is a Medal of Honor Museum in Charleston?) and singing and just plain fun.

Unfortunately, the reason for this reunion was not so jovial. We found out this week that my dad's mom has cancer. Its an aggressive form of lung cancer that doesn't have good long term prospects. We would appreciate your prayers as we deal with this the best we can. The destination is certain, but the path unknown.
Uncle Scott surprised us all by flying in from the Middle East. Mom Fitz was quite surprised!

I'm sorry to hear that about Mom Fitz. It doesn't sound like she has much quantity to live, but I'm praying that the quality of life would be really wonderful. May she be pain-free so that she can enjoy her incredible family.

I was sad to read about Mom Fitz even though I've never me her in person. I'll be praying for you, your dad, and his family. I am thankful she got to meet Kiran and spend some time with her and the other babies!
