Daddy Hill Update!

Daddy Hill's Pet Scans came back...and they weren't so good.
{come on now...whats up with that?}
Instead of Daddy Hill going in for Chemo Treatments he will be taking a pill over 21 days and then he will have a new PET scan.
The Pill will help prepare Daddy Hill for a second Bone Marrow Transplant.
Keep Daddy Hill in your prayers, PLEASE!

Welcome!



As I made this blog I thought, what on earth will I name it?
This man doesn't even know me!

Mr. Hill.....{nah, too neighborly},
Brother Hill....{no, too religious}
How about Daddy Hill? {PERFECT!}

You see even though I don't know "Daddy Hill" personally I think we all can relate to his story. He is a...
father, husband, and man.
He is someone people truly care about...and he is battling cancer just like so many other men, women, and children.


This blog is to help support "Daddy Hill" through his battle with Non-Hodgekins Lymphoma.
Whether you be a close friend, relative, fan, or visitor please, please take the time to say hello!


"God loves us, so He makes us the gift of suffering. Through suffering, we release our hold on the toys of this world, and know our true good lies in another world. We're like blocks of stone, out of which the sculptor carves the forms of men. The blows of his chisel, which hurt us so much, are what make us perfect. The suffering in this world is not the failure of God's love for us; it is that love in action. For believe me, this world that seems to us so substantial is no more than the shadowlands. Real life has not begun yet." ("Shadowlands," p. 1)

The blog "The Stationery Place" is currently having a card drive for the Hill Family...all you need to do is:

1. make a cheerful, happy card {or you can buy one as well}
2. write a message of cheer or encouragement -- get well soon, thinking of you, hang in there, etc. -- inside the card, personalized to the hill family
3. email lyndsey at stationeria[at]gmail.com and tell her you would like to submit a card {Lyndsey will email you with her mailing address}
4. put your card in an envelope and put it in the mail to Lyndsey by wednesday, november 11 -- send multiple cards in one package if you like; no limit on how many cards you can send!
5. Lyndsey will bundle all cards together and send them to the hill family in time for thanksgiving

Lyndsey is also sweetening the deal by giving away a package of handmade cards to three lucky people who send a card to The Hill Family.

Don't have time to make a card? Print the "Daddy Hill" ready-made card! Its already flipped for you so that all you need to do is put a piece of card stock in the computer, print, fold and Wahla!

{Just click on the image, right click and save the image to your computer!}

Please take a minute out of your day to let the Hill Family know that you care, I know it would mean the world to them!

Thank You!
