I heard someone say that about Cardinals and I've never forgotten.
My husband and I have been very blessed over the years and we are thankful for that.
(taken on a hike on the Florida trails last month)
But now we are going through a very hard time and I wanted to write and ask you for your prayers.
Ron has a very rare cancer....B cell Lymphoma.
There's a good article HERE. He has the Splenic subtype.
It is too advanced for surgery to remove his spleen so they have started Chemotherapy treatments. He's been in the hospital receiving blood transfusions too.
I'll update you all when we get farther into the treatments. I had thought about taking a blog break but I get so much enjoyment from reading my favorite blogs and I know you will all give me encouragement.
I've come to know most of you over the years of blogging and know you have all been through hard times too and I have prayed for many of you over the years. So I'll thank you in advance for your prayers and I will be around to visit soon. I know I'll read my favs and I'll comment when I can.
God bless you, your blog buddy Diane
I’m joining Saturday’s critters HERE

...amen, sister. We have a pair of cardinals in our garden. Blessings!
Sending virtual healing energies (and prayers, another healing energy form) that you and Ron meet this challenge with all the fortitude, along with joy and beauty, which you've shared here in your blog about your travels.
Prayers for you and Ron. Take care of each other. Hugs, Elaine
Hello Diane,
Sending my prayers and healing wishes for your husband.
Stay strong and well, we are all here for you. I love your cardinals and pretty butterfly. Thank you for linking up and sharing your critters and post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Sorry to read of the cancer diagnosis. Hoping the course of treatment gives him more years to live. I guess the two cardinals I saw yesterday are a blessing too. They've been away for awhile now.
oooooh diane, sadness overcame me as i read your words. your partner in life, your loving friend, your hiking buddy....he is your everything!! i am sending my love, warm wishes and strength, you will both need so much strength to get through this and you will. you seem like such a soft, kind, loving person and that's what your "partner in crime" needs right now. i hope it is ok to comment on your pictures, they are so beautiful and gave me hope. i have been seeing a lot of buckeyes lately, more than i have ever seen before. hugs to both of you!!
I am so sorry to read this news, Diane, and will pray for strength and grace for you and Ron as you navigate this unwelcome trail.
We don't have cardinals here - such gorgeous birds. Hugs, Lorrie

Prayers and good vibes for you both
It is sad y’all are going through a difficult health. Take care and post whenever you feel up to it. Even posting one photo can help you feel your blog friend’s caring. 🙏🏻
We'll be thinking of you and hoping for a swift and full recovery.
I'm deeply sorry to hear this, Diane. My dad had a different type of lymphoma (one that is not hereditary). I am whispering a prayer for your husband this morning. The red cardinal is delightful, and your Header butterfly is beautiful. Thinking of you on this Saturday morning and sending thoughts of comfort and love.

I love seeing cardinals and hearing their song--they are rare here.
I am so sad to hear about Ron's diagnosis and I hope chemo and perhaps future immunotherapy will help him overcome this cancer. Sending comforting (((hugs))) and prayers for you both!
