Sorry it's been awhile since I've surfaced. Been spending time with one of the most important people in my life - my dear little sister! The past 3 weeks have been a whirlwind - diagnosed with ovarian cancer, surgery and chemo started. She's healing from her surgery, learning to manage her pain and nausea levels, and trying to get some much-needed sleep and rest her mind. God is always good and He shows her daily that He's taking care of her. The out-pouring of love, flowers, cards, meals from her church and work communities has been a testament of her love of people and her love of the Lord. The hospital staff and even her surgeon have all commented that they have NEVER had such a crowd of people at the hospital in and out and some staying all day long to show their love and support of my dear sis. There has been a steady stream of folks coming by her home to see her and leave meals. I've been spending time with her and am taking our parents to her house tomorrow. Thank you all for your prayers and your kind thoughts! I treasure each and every one!
She's on the right - isn't she beautiful? And just as beautiful on the inside! Everyone loves her for she loves everyone first! Thank you in advance for keeping her in prayer. She has a long way to go - about 18-21 weeks of chemo - but she's strong in the Lord and with His help, she's going to overcome!
In other news, the garden's about in - just got my tomatoes planted. It's a bit smaller this year as recent events have called me away, but it's done and I just feel like the Lord has blessed me with multiplied time this year. He knows what we needed before we even ask!
My son, Adam Fears, the country-music singer/songwriter has released a new single ---
"There's A Girl Out There"
It's a great song, if I do say so myself! (I'm a proud mama) It was released to country radio this Monday past and you can call and request your local station very SOON to play it if you like! The more hits he gets the better his single will rise up the country music charts. That's how new artists get started, so get your phones ready and get requesting as soon as I get the green light from Adam!!! Please! If your local station doesn't have it yet, the station can go to
http://allaccess.com to request it. They have to be a member I think.
Now just look at that smile! Don't you think a handsome guy like Adam needs to be a country music star???
They shot a music video (which I've seen) and it is awesome! It won't be played unless the song does good, so that's another reason to request his new song! He's been playing, writing and singing since he was in high school, and been working his rear off in Nashville for the last 7 1/2 years. I think it's high time that he succeeds, don't you?
This is a popular place to hear Adam's new song - check it out! and share with anyone you want! He has a twitter account, too - I think it's
Adam Fears @ AdamFearsMusic
I'll try to get around and do some visiting - it's just been so hectic - Thank you all again for your friendship and your caring! Sending you all a Big Ole Texas Hug!!!

Great looking family! So good to find that you popped by here. Thinking of and praying for you folks many times daily. Now off to listen to this song...
Aww, you and your sister are both so beautiful. May God continue to bless her with his healing touch and strength as she goes through the chemo treatments. Your son is very handsome and I wish him every success. Have a blessed day. Pamela
That was great!
I have been praying daily for your sister. My youngest daughter had ovarian cancer when she was 20. It was devastating to all of us. I am happy to say that 21 years later she is healthy and strong. People all over the country prayed for her and I am convinced that that made her miracle happen.
What a good looking family - sisters and son. I'll be thinking of your sister as she goes through chemo. May God give her strength and comfort each day.
Yes, indeed, that's one handsome country singer!
Vickie,
I'll be praying for your sister first of all!
And wow..your son is good! Love that song! Love his style! I hope he makes it big! He's a nice lookin young man too!
Blessings,
Tammy

Mona came in while I was reading your post and it was nice to put faces with names. You gals are gorgeous! I can't wait to meet you. I've already told you how I envy you having a sweet sister you're close to.
I went to Adam's music site to hear his songs. He has tremendous talent and I know his parents are proud of him. He also has a good testimony.
Looking forward to the blog meeting in May. Praying for you sister and family,
Love Deb
Good evening Vicki, both you and your sister are beautiful, I do hope she is doing well and adjusting to such a grueling treatment. Soon, she will be able to put this behind her and move forward with her life..."One day at a time". Very handsome son you have, good looks and talent run in the family! Blessings, Julie.
Waving!
Thanks for following me. We have a sister thing in common...unfortunately. At this point, post all you two are currently going through, she is doing well, thank God!!
Loved your son's song.
We are close in Texas! Hope your getting rain.
