Update From Dave
Relaxing fireside for an early dinner at Shadowbrook Restaurant reminiscing 30 years of marriage ....!!!
(1) 30!!!
March 1, 2010 celebrates our 30th wedding anniversary ....!!!
To commemorate the big event we purchased PERSEVERANCE, a Thomas Kinkade painting.
Given Irene’s Journey of Faith, we thought that the painting title, PERSEVERANCE, was very germane ....!!! PERSEVERANCE defined: to persist steadily in an action or belief, usually over a long period and especially despite problems or difficulties.
A gallery “Master Highlighter” accentuated our painting in the photo below although we ultimately changed out the frame from wood to gold as photographed above.
At times this last week, Irene has experienced “Tsunami like” waves of nausea, coming and going like the surf of the sea. She faithfully perseveres.
30 years .... and counting ....
Thanks for caring,
Dave
Compiled from selected blog entries at IreneDias.com, this is the inspiring story of Irene and Dave Dias and their courageous battle against a rare, incurable and terminal disease, Primary Amyloidosis. Although the suffering they face is severe, this is not a story of despair, but of an incredible faith and even more of an incredible God who sustains His followers with lavish grace, extravagant kindness, and unrelenting love. It's a great gift to yourself or for someone you know who is facing dire circumstances.
