Gina

Okay, she's not really an angel. She's a Physician's Assistant at Tammi's cancer center, and the only remaining part of mom's team from 2009 (her former oncologist has retired since then). But we like her, a lot.

When mom was out of her initial hospital stay, we traveled to her Cancer Center all together, grandma and grandpa, Tammi's sister Vicki, all three of us kids. (We tend to travel as a pack...) All we knew was that cancer was back, and didn't quite know what that meant. 

And by God's grace, Gina spoke calmly, hugged mom, and told her it was going to be okay. We heard words like "metastatic," "liver," "bones," "chemo for life," but more than any of the words, we felt her care for mom. 

None of the news we received this day was good news, but we're glad Gina was the one to give it. 

Say a prayer for Gina, a prayer of thanksgiving, and for the hope that all patient's can feel this kind of care.
