Most of my blog readers know about my twin brother Lorin. A year ago March, Lorin was diagnosed with one of the most deadliest brain tumors you can get. He was given one year to live. We are Praising God he has gone over a year. Lorin has gone through so much. He has had radiation and is on his second round of Chemo...He has chosen to do whatever it takes to allow him more time here on this earth with his beloved wife. They have no kids. Recently Lorin has had allot of trouble making sense with what he says. It's so very hard watching this young 43 year slowly progress downward. I am honored to be his sister and Thank God that we live so close and can see him for the short time he has left on this earth. The Lord has worked out so many of the details with his cancer. My sister Susie has been able to become his caregiver along with his wife. Susie is an Amazing women. I love it when on occasion she will run errands with his wife and will bring Lorin to my house. Here are some pictures I took recently when he was here. My kids just love their Uncle Lorin. I thank God that Lorin has accepted Christ as his Savior and will spend eternity in Heaven. Were all on borrowed time. Do you know where you'll spend eternity???

Lisa I am so sorry to hear about Lorin. I can't imagine how you must be feeling especially where he is your twin!! I am so thankful he knows the Lord. When his days of suffering are over here on earth,(as with all of us who know the Lord personally) he will rest in the arms of Jesus. There is no greater life insurance than that!
Hugs and prayers to you sweet Lisa!
Those are great pics Lisa. A wonderful memory. Will keep praying for him for sure.
AMEN! Praise the Lord. I will pray for him. Thank you for letting his life be a testimony for others. But our time on earth is just a speck of dust...
I will keep your family in my prayers. Its nice that you have been able to spend quality time with him and I pray that you will have much more.
Thanks for the post on blog.
Sending prayers your families way!! My husband has a twin sister and I know they have such an amazing bond. Enjoy each precious moment!
Absolutely...you KNOW he is here in mine. HE looks like a great guy! NOT, that looks can tell a lot about a person. But he reminds me a lot of my step dad, whom IS a fabulous guy (I might add). PTL that he has Jesus and youll see him once again. May your days be deeply blessed! ((HUGS)) from Tennessee to a family that truly is Holy.
Hey Lisa,
I'll be praying. My brother almost died of bone cancer 12 years ago. Yesterday we found out he has another lump. I know what your going through and will be praying for a miracle.
Take care -
Tami

Every day is a blessing and a gift for us all--this is a reminder to be thankful for every minute. We are close geographically so please know that I'm here for you if you need anything at all. Hugs, my friend.
