For the love of our Uncle

Yesterday evening we received the sad news that my Uncle Kent has stage 3 lung cancer.
Our family is trying to process this news the best that we can.
Since we moved to the Northwest 8 years ago Kent and Sue have become such a wonderful and important part of our lives. They are so special to us and the boys have a wonderful relationship with them. They have really become grandparents to Josh and Matthew. Really the only grandparents they know and have.
News like this is never easy. It really reminds me of how temporary everything is in this life. I am so thankful we have heaven to look forward to. A time and place where we'll be free of pain and tears.
Our prayer through all this... whatever lies ahead is that Kent will really encounter the Lord for the first time. We know the Lord is capable of great miracles and healing can occur. When all is said and done what happens after we die is truly all that matters. The Lord is so good and I pray for His amazing love and faithfulness to be shown to all of our family in great ways through these hard times ahead.
We love you so very much Uncle Kent and Aunt Sue!
