Funny, but sad, true story. On one estate I settled as court appointed administrator, all issues had been resolved by my settlement proposal except for an cracked iron washpot in the backyard of momma's house. They both said momma had promised it to them. Momma's will only specified that the property be divided equally between the two. I offered to sell the washpot to the highest bidder. Neither one wanted to make a bid since they each felt they owned it. Since the house was for sale anyway, I decided that the washpot would stay with the house. Each daughter started scrambling to get a loan to buy the other one out. One daughter got a loan, paid me for the house, changed the contact number on the for sale sign, and moved the washpot. Several months of "For Sale" by owner got no results so she listed with a realtor. The house eventually sold, but the bottom line is that she paid $5000 for the washpot. She had to pay interest on the loan, a realtor fee, and she sold the house for less than she paid for it. However, she was still happy because she got the washpot. If she had made any bid when I asked for one, she would have gotten it much easier at much less cost.
Thanks again for all the posts, phone calls, PM's, and e-mails of support and encouragement. Each one means a lot to me. Please continue to pray for me. Your prayer is working.
I had a James 5 prayer session of prayer last Thursday night and the following day I was able to eat a small amount of solid food for the first time in several weeks. Since then, my intake of solid food has increased a little each day. This is a clear indication that the tumor is shrinking. My 3rd round of chemo starts tomorrow.
