Hey Ker,
I saw your blog. Is the ‘mad’ thing about me?
(Yes.
Mindy was diagnosed with a brain tumor on Friday. She is scheduled to see a specialist later this month, which I think equals good news because the doctors aren't rushing her to the hospital in an ambulance just yet, and also because it is a unique way to celebrate her October birthday...)
Here’s how I’m looking at it: I’m gonna wring every last advantage out of this. People are gonna feed us, pity us, love us, and be our friends out of the sheer responsibility they feel. In fact, you know how they have baby showers? I’m thinking of having a ‘tumor shower’. What do you think? Good idea, right? J
You can mention me on your blog if you want. I’ll take any prayers I can get. I really think this is going to all be ok and that I will get some big, huge, fat blessings from it (no, not my big butt).
I love you!

Okay, people. You heard the woman! Start praying!
Mindy, I saw this yesterday and thought of you, with the whole eye thing and all...
"...Faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith." Ether 11:6
Get it? Because ye see not...Ha! You didn't say this was affecting your vision, though, so I probably just made a really bad joke. I like the scripture, though!
And a joke for Grant. You really might consider the whole eye patch thing...
Pirate's Eye Patch
A seaman meets a pirate in a bar, and talk turns to their adventures on the sea. The seaman notes that the pirate has a peg-leg, a hook, and an eye patch.
The seaman asks "So, how did you end up with the peg-leg?"
The pirate replies "We were in a storm at sea, and I was swept overboard into a school of sharks. Just as my men were pulling me out, a shark bit my leg off."
"Wow!" said the seaman. "What about your hook"?
"Well...", replied the pirate, "We were boarding an enemy ship and were battling the other sailors with swords. One of the enemy cut my hand off."
"Incredible!" remarked the seaman. "How did you get the eye patch"?
"A seagull dropping fell into my eye.", replied the pirate.
"You lost your eye to a seagull dropping?" the sailor asked incredulously.
"Well...", said the pirate, "..it was my first day with the hook."

I am so sad to hear about Mindy, but so impressed with her attitude. I'd hope I'd be that upbeat and positive. It is true that she and we should say things like "What does the Lord expect me to learn from this?" or "This experience will be an opportunity for her or me to become a better person." But despite the platitudes, though true, it is hard and not fun and we don't like it at all. Stomp, clench fists, stomp again. Darn!
Then we move ahead as best we can. And we try to smile. We'll pray for the best for Mindy and for her family. Keep us informed please.
