I would like to think that I am a very strong person. Please excuse my language, but Trey often refers
to me as a “tough ass”, not in a positive way.
I handle stress or sadness best when I am alone. I don’t like a fan club and people trying to
make me feel better.
Trey is a very private person and likes to keep personal
issues to himself. To some degree I do
as well, but when I think others can help I like to get the news out
there. Right now I need your help.
No, I don’t know who all reads my blog, but I see that
around 100 people view it each day. I
need prayers. Lots of prayers. The strong kind of miracle asking prayers.
My mom, Gran, hasn’t been feeling well for a while. After doctor visits, CT scans, and a scope
test this week a biopsy came back with a diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.
CANCER! No one likes
that word under any circumstance. It’s
even worse when it’s someone you love and they are in pain. Lately I have spent a lot of time on my knees
praying for healing, and for God’s will to be done.
Tonight when my mom called me and confirmed that she had
pancreatic cancer I wanted to cry. I
didn’t. I couldn't. I was sitting down eating dinner with my
boys. I can’t cry in front of them. I have only cried one time since last
December until tonight. After I got my
boys to bed I laid on the floor and cried and prayed. I cried and prayed some more.
I have a WONDERFUL mother.
My mom has taught me so much. She
has shown me such love and adoration that I can’t even begin to explain it to
you. She is a submissive wife, and I
need to strive to be more like her every day.
She adores her grandchildren and they love her back just as much.
I am asking that you PLEASE pray for my mother. Put her on your church prayer list. Call your friends and ask them to pray
too. Pancreatic cancer is an aggressive
cancer. God is bigger than her cancer, and he can heal her. Pray for complete healing.

Prayers for your mom, you, and the rest of your family!! Cancer stinks! My grandmother passed away when my mom was in 6th grade and my sweet sister in law lost a year long battle with breast cancer two years ago. The diagnosis brings you to your knees for sure! One of the verses I often sent my sister- in-law...The Lord will fight for you, you need only to be still (Ex 14:14)
Jill, I found your blog recently and have been reading for a little while now. I will certainly be praying for your mom. I know that God can do great things, far more than we can ask or imagine. (eph.3.20) Will be thinking of y'all.
Praying for your family! Last year my dad was diagnosed with non Hodgkin's lymphoma. He has gone through Chemo and Rituxin and is still on Rituxin. He is now in remission. Sending lots of thoughts and prayers your way!
Love you Jill and Mrs. Suzanne. Will continue the prayers.
Oh Jill, I'm so sorry to hear this. I will be praying for you, your mom & the entire family.
Praying for each of you and for healing for your mom. I sent message to have her added to prayer lists in West Point, too. You all are precious to so many and hope you feel the power of prayer through this trying time.
Love Mary Clift
praying for you and your family. Never easy to get that news. Praying.
So sorry... will be praying for your mom and your family!
Hi Jill, my name is Sara Holifield. I have been a blog reader of yours for quite sometime. I'm not sure how I came across your sweet blog, I saw it on Amanda Pierce's blog and have been a reader since. This blog post just hit me like a ton of bricks and breaks my heart for you more than I can express.I know too well abut pancreatic cancer. I lost my sweet, precious mother-in-law and father-in-law to this same cancer. I will be praying so, so hard for you and your sweet family and mom, dad and brother!
My mother-in-law saw the most amazing and caring physicians at UAB where she received excellent care. The staff at UAB was also incredible, under the cirmumstances, but I am still amazed to this day at the quality of excellent care she received while there at UAB. I would love to reach out to you and help you in anyway I can. This just hits so close to home. Please feel free to email me at saraholifield12@gmail.com.
Praying fervently for you and your family.
I will add her to every prayer list I know of. And I will pray for her daily...that's a promise. I know all too well what the power of prayer does. so incredibly sad to read this news.
Our whole family is praying, Jill!
Hi, my name is Susan. I have been reading your blog for awhile now. Your posts have meant a lot to me the past few years as I was in pharmacy residency. Your fun family stories raised my spirits on some tough days. I have finished my training, and now I am an Oncology Pharmacst in Memphis. I really do believe cancer is a battle, and I am glad your Mom has such a loving family on her side.
I am praying for her!
Praying for your mom and the rest of the family. We will add her to our prayer list too!
Jill, I was so sad to read this news. I have been following your blog for a while and enjoy keeping up with your fun family. Sending prayers up for your mom and family.
