Hello my dearest friends,
I hope you are all doing well during these crazy times. I have been away far too long but 2020 has not been a kind year. I have not worked on my miniatures, so this is not a mini related post. Over the years your good wishes and prayers have helped me get through some tough times, so I thought I would turn to you all again.
Last November Jo was diagnosed with cancer. He was operated in January and has made a complete recovery. A week later, just before the end of my parental leave, my employer of 12 years informed me that my position was eliminated. It was a blessing in disguise because I could take care of Vigo. All this I could deal with.
In August, Vigo started to get sick. He has been in the hospital since September 30th. They are treating him for many things because they still have not found what is making him sick. Yesterday they took us aside and told us that he is in decline and that there is a real chance he will die. If there was ever a time a parent would beg for prayers and good wishes this is it!
I never in my life could have imagined being this scared, and I never fully understood just how much I love him. I don't know how to deal, but I hope all the love and friendship you have shown me over the years will help my little monkey baby fight and get over this.
Giac
Lieve Ciac en Jo,
ReplyDeleteHoeveel verdriet en tegenslag kan een mens verdragen,
jullie zijn letterlijk beland in een horrorscenario.
Gelukkig te lezen dat Jo nu weer volledig hersteld is,
maar wat verschrikkelijk dat kleine Vigo zo ziek is en
al een tijd in het ziekenhuis ligt zonder dat ze nog
weten wat de reden is van zijn ziekzijn. En dat
verschrikkelijke bericht dat jullie gisteren te horen
kregen dat zoiets eventueel zou kunnen gebeuren.
Met heel mijn hart hoop ik dat het met Vigo goed zal
gaan komen. Lieve mensen, ik wens jullie alle kracht
toe, HEEL VEEL STERKTE in deze ontzettende moeilijke tijden. Ik denk aan jullie en sla in gedachten een
arm om jullie heen,
Veel liefs en alle goeds gewenst.....
Josephine

Dear Giac and Jo, those are the scariest moments in any parent's life, when your child is ill. And the worst is when they don't yet understand what is wrong. You are in my prayers and especially Vigo. Hold on and love him no matter what. I am hoping you will hear better news soon! I am praying for you.
ReplyDelete2020 has been a year of monumental changes for so many Giac, but your situation with your precious son, is every parent's worst nightmare. I will most DEFINITELY be praying for Vigo, you and Jo, and that God will make your beloved baby boy well and strong again.

no puedo creer lo que leo Giac. Os ha venido todo de golpe, está siendo un año malo en general, pero vosotos aun es peor. Cuanto lo siento, ojala Vigo se recupere, rezaré por ello, claro que si amigo y por que tu vuelvas a tener trabajo y a Jo le salgan bien todas las pruebas. Son momenntos muy duros, desde luego. Espero y deseo que pase todo, que descubran lo que enferma a Vigo y lo sanen. Un beso lleno de cariño, ojalá pudiese hacer algo más por vosotros tres
ReplyDeleteSiento mucho lo que leo Giac. La enfermedad siempre es terrible, pero cuando es la de un niño, es peor aún. Espero que finalmente Vigo pueda recuperarse, rogaré por ello.
ReplyDeleteMucho ánimo y un beso fuerte
Hola Giac, siento muchísimo los duros momentos por los que estais atravesando.
ReplyDeleteEspero que puedan dar pronto con el remedio para sanar a Vigo, y podais recuperaros todos de esta mala racha.

Toda mi fuerza y mi cariño para vosotros y le pediré con todas mis fuerzas a mi virgen del pilar que sane a vuestro niño. Un fuerte abrazo en cristo.
ReplyDeleteOh, Giac! No te rindas!!! Aguanta!!! Abraza muy fuerte a Jo y que Vigo os vea sonreír y fuertes a su lado!!! A veces la vida lanza esos zarpazos... pero siempre amanece, no olvides eso! Me uno a vuestros corazones y sumo también mi oración ♥ Ayer celebramos en España el día del Pilar... los padres llevan a sus bebes a la Basílica y los ponen a los pies de la Virgen para que ella los proteja... Mi hermana vive en Zaragoza y mañana se acercará y pedirá a la Virgen que cuide de Vigo hasta que se recupere. Confía Giac! Mi abrazo más fuerte!!!

ReplyDeleteWat een afschuwelijk nieuws. Dit is het ergste nieuws dat je kunt krijgen. Wat een afschuwelijk jaar voor jullie. Zoveel ellende voor jullie alle 3. Ik ga een kaarsje voor Vigo opsteken en hoop dat snel de oorzaak van zijn ziekte wordt gevonden. Hoop dat hij daarna spoedig zal herstellen. Ik wens jullie alle 3 heel veel sterkte toe de komende tijd. Xandra

ReplyDeleteDear Giac and Jo, i so hope all the good wishes and prayers being sent to you will help support you through this horrendous time. I am sure we all feel so helpless and wish we could carry some of your load.

Gather all the strength you can together and find some strength in each others support to help you through a terrible time. We all hope Vigo will be helped back to a full recovery. M x
