My Brother-in-law

As some of you may know, my brother-in-law, Rob was diagnosed with a tumor in his brainstem about six years ago. The tumor has been stable until recently. The short version of the story is that in the last three weeks the tumor has more than doubled in size. The doctor's feel that it is only a matter of time now, and have given Rob three weeks to a few months.

I am asking all of you for prayer for my sister, Amy, and Rob and their two children - Trey, who is 10 and Livi, age 6.

A CaringBridge site has been created to keep up to date on Rob. CaringBridge is a nonprofit organization that helps friends and families stay connected.
You can visit Rob's CaringBridge site at http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/robwilliams.
If your e-mail program does not allow you to click on the above link, just copy and paste the address into your web browser's address (or URL) location.
Please visit the CaringBridge site anytime. You can use the site to check in on Rob, read the journal entries and send messages by signing the guestbook. When you register with CaringBridge and sign the guestbook, you will automatically receive e-mail notifications each time the journal is updated. Or, you can subscribe to receive these notifications even before you sign the guestbook. (Of course, you can unsubscribe from these e-mail updates at any time.)

We all went to Peachtree City (where they live) today. We had a good visit. Just to leave you with a little laugh... as we drove home through Atlanta, Ellie looked out the window and said, "Mom, is that New York City?" It made us chuckle. I told her NYC was like Atlanta but bigger. That seemed to satisfy her.

Your whole family is in our prayers. I am so thankful for the hope we have in the Second Coming of Christ. This is one of my favorite verses, 1 Thess 4:16, 17: For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever.
