How are you today? As we celebrate Valentines today, I wanted to have you meet Leslie and Tobiah (Toby), Torres. Leslie and Toby I would like to wish you a Happy Valentines.
You can see they are awaiting the birth of there son Elijah. Now he should be here sometime in June or at least by July 10th. Will make David a grandfather again. Now, you might ask me what that makes me, and if you want to know the truth, I do not know where I fit into Les family or even if I do. I am her stepmom not that she would admit it ever.
I would like to let you know this young family will need lots and lots of Prayers as they are facing something no, one should have to face ever. Only more and more of us are having to deal with it either in our lives or within themselves.
If you’re you’re wondering what I am talking about it is the Big C. Yes, Toby has Cancer. We were praying they had caught it in time as they did Surgery a week ago for Testicular Cancer.
Only today I would like to ask for everyone’s Prayers as we learned last week Toby has 2 different kinds of Cancer. One of them is fast acting and I am Praying he last till the baby is born as his son is his and Les dream.
As I sit her writing this my heart is breaking for my daughter because I don’t know what I would do if this was David. I can’t even imagine what Les and Toby are going through or how to help them out.
I just Pray if something does happen that in-time Leslie is able to pick up the pieces and move on with her life. They are only 20 years old and have been together since Les was 17 years old, and Toby is her first love. Just as David was mine.
I ask the Lord to take care of Les, Toby and the baby and to let me know how I can help them. As I am not either of there parents and I just don’t know where I fit into Les life or even if she wants me in it. Or for that matter Charlie. But what I do know is both Charlie and I love Toby, Les and the new baby and would do anything we could for them.
Aas I watch David come to terms with this he has questions I can’t answer and I see him trying to reach out to Les and she isn’t wanting to open her heart to her dad. Which I know hurts David so Please Pray for him as well as he loves her just as much as he loves Charlie. As Leslie is his baby daughter and was the baby until Charlie arrived.
Thank you,
Glenda, David and Charlie Cates
