Telling The Kids

Stacy and I have been putting off telling the kids much about what's been going on with my condition. They know I've been feeling sick recently and have had multiple doctor visits and even some details about what the doc's have been doing to me. We have been very reluctant to use the "C" word around them, not knowing how it would be handled. Especially since we were out of town last weekend. We had a good talk at supper tonight and they seemed pretty unfazed. I know, emotions will surely surface at some point. My mother died of cancer last year at this time, so the memories are still pretty fresh for all of us. It was just a huge answer to prayer that the kids took things in stride and were able to see that this is different and that Dad will get better.
