I have sad, heartbreaking news to share today.
We recently learned that one of our dear family friends is waging a war against Cancer. I cannot begin to tell you how many of my friends have endured wars against this terrible disease in the past several years.
Robert was recently diagnosed with metastatic melanoma and prostate cancer. He has endured one surgery already and is facing another, in addition to treatments and recovery. Despite a double diagnosis of cancer, he is committed to fight both cancers head-on. Robert sees the smile on little Angeline’s face and finds the strength to fight on because he very much wants to be in Angeline's life supporting her as she grows up.

Angeline is the same age as Josie and was on of Josie's very first friends after we adopted her and brought her home.

Robert is such a wonderful Dad; quiet, patient, loving, and has always been such a joy with the girls.

Robert was often behind a camera taking pictures, so pictures of him are hard to find.
We are absolutely heartbroken with this news.
Kathi, Robert, and Angeline greatly appreciate any support folks might be able to provide to help defray their mounting medical bills that are not covered by health insurance. Anyone who has ever dealt with a major medical situation knows there is often just as much that health insurance does not cover as what it does cover.
