Worlds Apart

back home..

sorry it's been so long. i arrived back in the states last friday, back in sarasota on saturday, and i've been getting settled and ready to unsettle and pack for school and spending time with the family. i have to say, it's nice to be home. there's nothing like it. and i have been reassured that sarasota is the most beautiful city in america. it IS america though, and it's been different getting used to that again. normally i've only been gone for a few weeks at a time, this time i've been away for 6 months, so being in the states feels a little different.
my dad had his first new treatment yesterday. for those of you who dont know, he is involved in a new clinical study for his cancer. he is one of the first people in the world to recieve this treatment, which is very exciting for us because this is a new technology that has worked very well in all of the research and studies. obviously, like all clinical studies, what happened in the labs isnt guaranteed to work on the patients, but we are hoping that it will be the case with dad. please keep him in your prayers. keep the doctors in your prayers, and pray that this will be something positive for my dad and the millions of others who suffer from this terrible disease.
i do plan on keeping up with the blog even though i am back from honduras. i plan on writing more of my thoughts about honduras after i've been home a little longer and i have gathered my thoughts some more.
thank you all for your prayers and support.

  • Nathan! We havn't talked in awhile and I just followed the link from my dad's blog to yours. I was hoping to get some more info about how your dad is doing and how the treatment is coming along.

  • Nate, you always mention how blessed you are, sometimes beyond comprehension. Please know that you and your family are a great blessing to so many of us--your faith and diligence does not go unnoticed by those around you nor by God. May He continue to bless you this year according to His will. Peace and love.
