Good morning all!

Its kind of a challenging day for me with puffy eyes, color drained from my face and headache as I think about of my dear friend, his wife and 7-year old twin children. By all accounts, he is healthy! He does all the right things, and his parents lived a very long time (his mom had him in her 40’s – surprise!). It is a real mystery as to how he could have bladder cancer. He also went into kidney failure, as the Nurses apparently didn’t check that the I.V. was going into his system but no output! Fortunately, family friend that also happens to be a specialized physician checked on him and got that situation under control without dialysis. We are on standby to pick up the children from the airport and care for them should he need additional surgery. They don’t know the extent of their daddy’s illness. During his recent surgery, they found two additional masses for a total of four and makes his wife wonder if there could be more. I love them all so much and I am so scared for them…it hurts me to think about it. Please join me in sending positive thoughts and prayers for Donald Bernhardt that he may have a rapid recovery and return of health and wellness. Thank you.

Wishing you wellness and a wonderful day,
Delighted Debra

What a terrible tragedy for the family Deb! We just hear so much about cancer touching every family.


Prayers are definitely on the way for strength at this time and a full recovery.


You are good friend to be there to help with the twins.

My friend and I were today were just questioning why so many who live a healthy life get such devastating illnesses.
