In Memory of Jordan Robert Horton

God Saw You

God Saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around you
And whispered, "Come with Me."

With tearful eyes we watched you suffer
And saw you fading fast away;
Although we loved you dearly
We would not make you stay.

A gold heart stopped beating
Hard working hands to rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us . . .
He only takes the best.

This is the poem we chose for ^^Jordan's^^ memorial cards.

Where the Sidewalk Ends

There is a place where the Sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.

Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.

Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.

I just wanted to give everyone a quick update. Patrick's Mom, Connie, did great during her surgery today. It took about four hours, but she was wonderful. The doctors were able to take the entire mass and lower lobe and all the lymph nodes in the area. The preliminary results show no signs of cancer in the lymph nodes. The doctors say that this is a good sign that the cancer has likely not spread. The doctor said that the cancer does appear to be a small-cell cancer under the microscope, but that he is surprised because it is not acting like small-cell. He couldn't determine with certainty today if it was indeed small cell. We will have to wait for the pathology report. Right now Connie is resting in her own hospital room. She was pretty uncomfortable when she came out of surgery, but the doctors were trying to get her pain under control. Patrick and I just came home for a few minutes to let the dogs out, and then we will go back up to see her for a little while. Please continue to keep Connie in your thoughts and prayers. She will be in the hospital for about 3 days and then will have 3-4 weeks of recovery before she is back to her old self again.

Go Hug your Kids!
Love,
Carrie
