Cancer is one of those diseases that sneaks up on you. This colon cancer snuck up on my cousin, Orville. He is 35 and has a family of 3 small children and a wife. It makes it even more difficult as he is the head nurse in a community hospital where he is currently a patient. He found out about the cancer quite by accident, when he noticed bleeding possibly when he went to the bathroom.... this was in January 2006. Since then he has undergone at least 3 different surgeries to remove the cancerous colon and associated lymphnodes.
I must admit not being very close to my cousin since we really grew up on two distant countries. I visited him in his hospital room yesterday (Sunday), and spent several hours just talking. I offered him any help he needed since there are 3 small children to take care of at home (his wife works as a nurse too), and any kind of assistance he needed.
I and our family continually pray for his full recovery. Cancer is something that no-one should every get, but it does strike... and sometimes devastingly. Pray for Orville's recovery.

Father's Day...
Happy Father's Day to all the dad's out there. My son and I went to a local shopping center, and found a bunch of kids playing in one of the water fountains.

Love...
Another photo I took at my friend's wedding. Made it black and white.... the simplicity of a B/W photo is amazing...
the "official" wedding photographer...
Here's a photo of the rings from my friend's wedding. This couple met at my church, and before they met, they had been content on being single for the rest of their lives. After all, they are older now, they have grown children, and really there was no need to really get married, but God somehow put their paths together and met at a Bible Study group, where they met. It was a wonderful day and one of the best weddings I've been involved in.
Now I am going through about 500 photos to sort out and fix.... :)
