David is coming home...

David is coming home.

I have tried to find a more gentle, sensitive way to share the latest in David’s fight with cancer, but the reality is that David is coming home tomorrow to begin hospice, surrounded by the love of his friends and family.

This last year has been unimaginable for us, and yet we are forever grateful and humbled by the outpouring of support you have shown. David has fought an incredible fight, and throughout it all maintained a determined, positive attitude that has inspired us all. By coming home, David is in no way giving up his hope for a miracle, rather he is choosing to spend this miracle of time with Izzy and Cap.

I can already hear Teamboyd’s calls to help, and I want to thank you in advance. We are not sure what these next few days and weeks will hold for us, but we know we’ll need your love and prayers.

We will be checking email and David’s facebook postings, but I will probably not be able to respond at this time. I have pulled in a few teamboyd members to help and ask that you email them if you need something. Truly your love overflows...

Monica Huff is organizing visitors. There may be days when David is up to seeing people and there will be others when we want to circle up as just a family. Know that we can feel your love even if we are not able to accept visitors. Please contact Monica (monicahuff@bellsouth.net) first if you are interested in stopping by and she can tell you when is a good time.

We are so grateful for the amazing food you have prepared for us this last year and will be using the same website again to coordinate meals. If you are interested, please log on to http://www.foodtidings.com/SignUp.aspx?ScheduleGuid=c7d9f36a-ce5a-4b69-a608-ddffeb07bc27 or contact Megan Lewis (megolewis@yahoo.com) to sign up.

For all other questions, please send Kim Ness an email (kimjness@yahoo.com). She will try to keep people updated through our teamboyd website and emails.

I know these next few days, weeks, will be some of the hardest we’ve ever faced, but as with this entire battle, we are taking it one step at a time. My parents, Kerry and David’s family are all here. Cap is feeling healthy and joyful as always. Izzy is remarkably brave and resilient. I am holding on...and will cherish every last minute I have with David.

Please continue to lift us up in your prayers.
