DeWitt Family: 2014

February/March

When Dad was diagnosed with cancer, the kids and I took a trip out to AZ and stayed for about a month. The kids even got to go to school with their cousins. Dad's prognosis was originally very poor, days to weeks, but we were hopeful and through a series of blessings, Dad was able to begin taking chemo and began improving. While I was there, he spent a week in the hospital and soon after began declining again. I feel extremely blessed that I was able to spend this time with him in Arizona. Missing him would be unbearable without the time I had to share my feelings with him and listen to him share his feelings as well. The night I arrived in Arizona, he prayed that our family could face his uncertain future with grace and dignity. Oh how I love him and miss him!

Princess Enjoying Laundry Day

Brooklyn and Luke ran 2 miles with the running club at the South Florida State Fair.

Roxy wasn't really tall enough to ride most the rides but she kept telling the attendants, "I'm big enough." So they let her on. That girl really know what she wants and goes for it!

This picture hurts my heart. I'm so glad that my Dad was able to come and be a part of our lives here in Florida. Somehow it brings me peace to know that he was able to come here and know that we are happy here.
