Borrowing Worry

2014 Little League Season, the "Black Lightning"
Wendi posted this to her Facebook page on Thursday night:

Mark just asked if after our appointment on Tuesday we would be all done with this whole thing. I explained that there is still some tumor left and the doctors can't just leave it in there. We briefly discussed chemo and radiation, easing some fears but also addressing some of the difficulties. Then I reminded him that we won't know anything until Tuesday, so we shouldn't--  He finished the sentence, saying "--borrow worry". Then he smiled and said, "It'll all be over in a year anyway" and snuggled down to sleep. Thank you Lord for his resilient spirit.

  2. Black Lightning Mark......Hello Friend. Something about baseball that thrills us to our soul. The feel of the ball, glove, bat, the mound, dugout, everything. God Bless Mark. That big East Coast snow storm is heading north of us in New Jersey. We may get some ice. I hear you are getting alot of rain. Almost done with work today. Talk to you soon. Joe
