Hi Akaisha.  Your letter was beautiful indeed. I am (we are) sorry to hear this news. We will of course keep you in our prayers and add you to several prayer lists.  For this morning, I pray for safe travels and the best possible outcome on your tests. I know you will keep us posted. Although it does kind of sound weird, this may be "the best thing to happen to you in your life". I suspect you will find a sweetness to your deepening love and dependency on God. He gives you strength right when you need it, but not before. Lean into Him and His promises. That will be how Kevin and I will be praying for you, claiming His promises in your life. Hugs and much love, Karena 

Hello Billy & Akaisha: As I sat & read your update this morning, tears were streaming as I just can't imagine what all you are going through. It has to be very difficult to keep thinking positive of all that you are going through. But I want you to know that you are in my daily prayers & thoughts as well as Billy for him to be strong & that you both are clear in mind to think clearly. I certainly do appreciate the updates. I'm thankful that you have good neighbors & friends that are there to help you both. Stay strong. Love you both, Kay

Thanks so much for continuing to keep us informed. It can't be easy. I've been following you for so long that there's a void when I don't hear from you. Just love you guys. Robyn Dolan Oh my goodness .. I have been following you two for many years since I bought your CD (yes CD!) I think 30 years ago or so. I am so sorry for all you are going through right now. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.  Greg

You two are amazing. Akaisha, you've been through so much but yet you keep smiling. What strength you have! Billy, you are an A+ caregiver. I am so glad I came to visit a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully soon you'll be back to eating at the kitchen counter. Sending bunches of hugs and kisses to you both. And also to Ron. He's been a great friend and now also your neighbor. Nancy P

Been following since 2003 living the lifestyle vicariously through you.  My love, prayers and appreciation all going your way! MYRON Musfeldt
