I'm back

I'm back and ready to start writing. Sorry I took so long to post another entry. Many of you know it's been a little crazy here in the Simcox Home. My Dad was diagnosed with Stage 4 Rectal Cancer the end of July and had surgery to insert his port for Chemo and other details that I won't go into. My Dad and Mom drive down to Zion, IL to the Cancer Center for treatments once a month. He's there for 6 days and has 5 days of Chemo for 6 hours. I do have a little story I would like to share with you. After my Dad's surgery, the Dr. asked us to try and wake him up, so I asked him the names of his children and he named all four of us with no problem...I little bit of slurring, but that's to be expected. Then I asked him to name his grandchildren and he named all 5 kids. This is how he said it..."My Princess (Haley), Joshua, Caleb, Isaiah Charles and my little Ethiopian Grandchild." Even with his eyes closed he still remembered. That meant the world to me. It gave me the hope that he is strong enough to fight this. He wants so bad to be there for his grandchildren. My Haley adores her Papa. He takes her shopping and buys her gumballs, they go for long walks and look for golf balls and he likes to rub her feet when she sleeps over. Just last night she asked Brent to rub her feet, but stopped him because he wasn't doing it like Papa. Please pray for healing and that this tumor will dry up and blow away.

Our adoption is going well. We are finally all done with our Homestudy and now were just trying to finish our Dossier. Haley started a fundraiser selling pizza kits through Little Caesars and sold quite a few already. I will let everyone know when our Fundraiser is with Outback Steakhouse. Now that we have to go twice to Ethiopia, it's going to cost quite a bit more, but we are confident that God will provide. Continue to pray for our journey.
