Catch Up Part 4: Mom's Surgery

So, as some of you know, my mother was diagnosed with thyroid cancer just about a month ago. The cancer is very treatable—one of the best to have—but it required a fairly speedy surgery.

I decided to go home and be there with her for the surgery and some of the recovery time. The good news is: Everything went really well!

She's healing and seems in good spirits, and we're so thankful that God has brought her through this as quickly as he has. Continue to pray for her during the recovery process.


Mom, pre-op. She begged me not to take this picture, but this is payback for a certain picture she took of me on the autostrada in Italy years ago. Trust me!


Tiara and I spent an ungodly amount of time together in the hospital—most of it laughing...


I'm glad we were there together, Badji!
