Sunday, Rob, Jacob, Gabrielle, and I had the opportunity to drive to the Conference Center in downtown Salt Lake to hear the "Music & the Spoken Word" broadcast as well as a mini concert.
The two guests were: Natalie Cole and David McCullough (of the book 1442 fame). After the concert (which was lovely, by the way), we were talking about it.
Jacob said, "Wait! Isn't her Dad famous?" referring to Natalie Cole.
We said, "Yes."
"Oh, yeah. There was a poem written about him. 'Old Nat Cole'..."
I had a hard time not laughing too much. It was so cute. I explained it to him better. I can see that we are not teaching our children all that we can about music. Hmmm.
Later that day at dinner, we told the kids that Rob was going to get his PET scan the next day. Jacob was funny. He said, "Oh great, another cry session at Grandma's."
Very apropos. (Only this time, it was at our home.)
Oh, in case you haven't heard: Rob's PET scan? It is kind of crappy. He has new growth on both sides (left and right lungs) and the spots that were there in September are getting bigger. We are meeting his oncologist on Thursday to see what is next. I will be updating the blog (hairlessinsaltlake.blogspot.com) either on Thursday evening or Friday morning.
When I think about it, I want to throw up. This is lame. All I can say.
On a much happier note, our Cancun trip was beyond fabulous. There are not words to describe how beautiful the ocean and sand are there. We had so much fun. It was a much-needed holiday together. If I can pull myself together, I will put together a slide show and upload it.

Jessica,
We think about your family all the time. We are sorry you all have to go through this. I believe the greater the trial in this life, the greater the reward in the life to come. I am glad your family was able to experience Cancun and spend some time together in a beautiful, nice relaxing place. All of our love.
