My dad and I have always shared similar opinions on just about everything. We love the same Billy Joel songs. We like to eat at the same restaurants. We‘re intrigued by the same journalists and inspired by the same writers. We share a love of music and a lack of rhythm. And we laugh at the same bizarre jokes. We’ve even come to an agreement that there are two types of people in the world: people who like Family Guy (him) and people who like South Park (me). So even when we disagree, we somehow manage to still agree.

How blessed Loren is to have a family that loves him so much as he goes through this trial. Some have no one that walks with them in their darkness of life. I pray for faith, supernatural strength, courage, and wisdom for all the Nancarrows and for the continuous hope that Doctors will discover a cure.
Dear Loren. Your beautiful Hannah did it again. A wonderfully written piece about your likes and dislikes and sharing things together. C hanges are bound to happen while one undergoes all the radiation and chemotherapy for this d—- cancer. Underneath it all is still the same dad she has always loved, She has to dig a little deeper to him now a days. I know you are having to struggle with these treatments and you family is undergoing changes also in coping with your changes. Hang in there Loren, The world is praying for you and your family.
I sent this particular blog to a granddaughter who is now in the same process as you are. Waiting, hoping and praying and a reminder that the Irish Prayer about acceptance is how life is. Hugs to you and yours. Dawn
I sang along I hope you didn’t mind my being a lot off key LOL!
walking this journey with your family makes me feel somewhat close to you as I too am walking my own journey. I am so thankful to have all of you in my life (from a distance) but at least I can enjoy the ride.
Continuous prayers, love, positive vibes, cheering and all the good stuff. Put your arms around one another and hug gently and somewhere in that hug is me hugging too.
