Dear Ones
It has been several weeks since I sent an update. I often find myself thinking that I should not bore people with these notes re Robert’s progress. Then, someone writes and asks or makes a phone call. The calls and emails are much appreciated, but it also makes me realize that people are praying as we have asked them to and they want to know how to pray. I am so grateful to our God for those reminders He sends my way. Thank you. It is your prayers that sustain us.
Robert did not receive good news this past week. Dr Jenkins told him that the cancer was growing even while he was on treatment. So, it goes without saying that it has continued to grow as he has been “on a break”. We knew he was declining, but did not realize that it had quit responding.
He will start back on chemotherapy this next week. The treatment will change and he will be on a different medication. (Don’t even ask me what it is, but Robert knows!!). We are asking the Lord to be merciful and to bring healing with this new treatment.
We have a dear friend that was recently diagnosed with cancer from our church. His name is Jim Leach. He now has a blood infection and is back in the hospital. Please lift him and his two daughters up in prayer.
Many of you knew that my niece was having twins and I know that you were praying for her. I have been lax in not asking for prayer for them. They have been born and it has been a rough few weeks. Some of you knew and were praying. I believe the worst is over, but there are still some weight issues. Also, my niece, as you can imagine, is very exhausted and needs some rest. Her mother is there, but every-2-hour feedings for 2 have just about worn her down.
Our God is so very good and all of the time He is good. We know that nothing changes that.
We are grateful to Him for you
Robert and Sandy Little
P.S. Cousin Camp with the grandchildren was wonderful! Robert was able to truly enjoy the time with the kids.

Cousin Camp was great and details are forthcoming, but for now…enjoy the parade!
Sorry, folks, I had to take the parade down. My website was spammed with nasty stuff and I’m totally embarrassed. How this happens, I do not know. But, for now, you will have to just wait for the pictures. I’ll work on them this weekend.

I don’t know that I will post every day until we start, but I’ll try. I did get this cute thing in my email today about Grandparents!! Don’t know the origination, but I hope you can relate either as a child or as a grandparent. It sure made me smile!
WHAT IS A GRANDPARENT? (taken from papers written by young children)
Grandparents are a lady and a man who have no little children of her
own. They like other people’s. A grandfather is a man a grandmother
is a lady!
Grandparents don’t have to do anything except be there when we come to
see them. They are so old they shouldn’t play hard or run. It is good
if they drive us to the shops and give us money. When they take us for
walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves and caterpillars.
They show us and talk to us about the color of the flowers and also why
we shouldn’t step on ‘cracks.’ They don’t say, ‘Hurry up.’
Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your shoes. They
wear glasses and funny underwear. They can take their teeth and gums
out.
Grandparents don’t have to be smart. They have to answer questions like
‘why isn’t God married?’ and ‘How come dogs chase cats?’. When they
read to us, they don’t skip. They don’t mind if we ask for the same
story over again.
Everybody should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don’t
have television because they are the only grown ups who like to spend
time with us. They know we should have snack-time before bedtime and
they say prayers with us every time and kiss us even when we’ve acted
bad.
A 6 year old was asked where his grandma lived. ”Oh,” he said, ‘’she
lives at the airport and when we want her we just go get her. Then when
we’re done having her visit, we take her back to the airport.”
Grandpa is the smartest man on earth! He teaches me good things but I
don’t get to see him enough to get as smart as him!
I’m really looking forward to seeing my grandchildren and a couple of parents and a couple of uncles. Johnathan will be cruising the “Ocean Blue”, but the rest will be here!! I’m probably going to just squeeze them all until it hurts!!
