Right now i’m sitting in the waiting room of a hospital in Taos, New Mexico.
You see…..a few months ago my sweet mom found out she had early stage breast cancer…..and after an MRI….
and a visit with an oncologist ….the decision was to go ahead and have surgery .
I took the red eye flight from Kauai on Saturday night…..and got in Sunday afternoon…..
i packed up some jeans….dragged out my only jacket i have….and with a quick {do you count two hours wandering??} trip to Target….we drove up to cold and beautiful Angel Fire, New Mexico.
A wonderful dinner with the family last night……sitting around the table with my brother and his wife….my mom and dad…myself.
So…right now….my dad and i are sitting here in the waiting room…..patiently waiting for the three hour surgery to be over.
Please keep my mom in your prayers and thoughts this morning………
and i’ll be back soon!
Prayers and good thoughts going out to your family and beautiful mama!

Oh Kasey, you are all in my thoughts and prayers!
Kasey, your mom and family are in our prayers. My mother in law is a 22 year Breast Cancer Survivor, so we know first hand what you are going through, and also know that it can be beat. Sending good thoughts your way. I do not know why, but right now there seems to be a lot of people who have been diagnosed with cancer in one form or another, including my father and a dear friend of my wife and I. We know the anguish you are going through. Please remember to enjoy the moment with your family and to love them. We all only get one ride in this journey we call life, make the most of it.
Blessings

I am going through the same thing as my Mom is also in the hospital so if you can squeeze in a prayer for her too it would be greatly appreciated.

Just popped by today, out of the blue, and found this post. Events like this, pull the rug out from under you and make you feel like you are living on very shakey ground. But don’t be fooled by all of that. Love is always rock solid. I wish you and your beautiful mum all the best and look forward to popping in again soon and hearing she is doing well. xx
Kasey, just get thru today, try not to focus on results/what’s next/treatment options etc just get through ‘surgery’ today..which is huge emotionally… One day at a time. Look after yourself- get fresh air when you can. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers (from Australia). I’m 40 and had breast cancer 12 years ago, your mum is fortunate to have caught it early. Take care x
Praying for her and you.
So sorry to hear about this Kasey! I pray for her quick recovery and for peace within you and your family. Enjoy your family.
Kasey, my prayers are for your mom today.
I just found your blog this morning. I am so sorry to hear this. I will certainly say a few prayers for your mom.

Be still…..
You got a good one from me. God and I like each other. Everything will be well. Keep on keepin on!
Im so sorry to hear about your Mom. I am praying now and will again tonight and tomorrow and for as long as you need me. I have a father with cancer and I know what you are feeling. Your Mom is beautiful.
My thoughts are with you ..
Sending healing thoughts and prayers to your mom! I’m sure it means a lot to her that you are there!
Kasey - I’m sorry you guys are going through this. We just went through this with my mom with a stage 3 diagnosis, double mastectomy, chemo, radiation over the last six months and on-going therapy now and she is doing awesome. I wouldn’t wish it on anyone but I’m glad they caught your mom’s cancer early, that the surgery went well and that you are enjoying time together. I found that it all brought us much closer - the silver lining. Much love to you and your family. I’ll be thinking about her and sending her serious cancer ass kicking vibes.
Sending love. Be strong!
i read your blog daily and am eager to hear good news about your mom!
Kasey, Will do - Hope all goes well with your mom.
Certainly will keep her in my prayers.
Such a beautiful picture of your momma. I am sending prayers and light your way.
She is absolutely lovely! I was praying…glad to hear everything went well
