Celebration
Hello Brutton blog readers.
I am overwhelmed at the response to our little blog. Yesterday, it was viewed over 8000 times! I am once again humbled and honored that God would use our family in this way.
I realize that I don’t know 8000 people so many who read this blog have never met me, or may not know me very well. Well, let me tell you a something about myself – I am a sports guy. I watch sports. I read about sports. I have even been known to shed a tear or two because of a sporting event. (Don’t judge me. It’s okay for men to cry about sports. Really. It’s not weird at all.)
One of my favorite things about sport is the celebration of a big win. The crowd goes wild and the players rush the field with pure joy. When a championship is won, an entire city celebrates. People flood the streets and it is all anyone talks about for a few days. There are parades, parties and rallies.
Well guess what. 
Kathy just won the biggest championship that could ever be won.
Guess what else.
We’re gonna celebrate!!!
The next two days are not going to be somber. We will celebrate Kathy’s life and how God is using her to still further his kingdom. We will hug. We will laugh. We will cry tears of joy.
We will also cry tears of sorrow because while our spirits rejoice for Kathy, our hearts break because she is separated from us . . .for now.
And you know what? Both kinds of tears are okay.
One last word about tomorrow. Kathy and I decided that we would do this a bit different. Since our children are young, they may not have a lot of memories about who their mom really was. In order to provide them with a snapshot into her life, I need to ask a favor of you. At church tomorrow there will be a room with a video camera. If you feel comfortable with it, please go in and share a bit about who Kathy was to you. There will be someone there to help with the operation of the camera and some general guidelines. Please share who you are, how you knew Kathy, and the impact she had on your life. Feel free to share a funny story about her, or something that would make her nostrils flare!! Remember, this is a celebration!!!
I am convinced that this will be blessing to her children in the future. It will give them living memories of their mother. My plan is to watch the video with them on Kathy’s birthday every year, but we may do it more often than that.
Since we are talking about the kids, one last thing before I go. Last night, the kids and I found ourselves alone in the house at bedtime. They had been playing with their cousins all evening, so they were a bit wound up and were getting a little loud. As we were heading to the steps to get ready for bed, I stopped them and told them to quiet down. And then something struck me. I turned to the kids and got their attention. I said “You know what, we’ve had to be pretty quiet in this house for the last few weeks. When I count to 3, I want you to yell as loud as you can!” I counted to three. They yelled. They screamed. They giggled. They yelled some more. They were joyful. I followed them up the steps, and at that moment, I knew we were going to be just fine.
Thanks for reading, and I hope to see you tomorrow.

I will post another update tomorrow with some more thoughts, but right now, I am going to get some sleep for the first time in a couple of days.
Victory
Today, November 16th, at 1:05 AM, Kathy went home to be with the Lord.
She is no longer in pain. She is healed. Her battle is won.
Later this morning, we will be making final arrangements. I plan to post another update this evening with more details.
At this moment, I do not have appropriate words to share with you. Just know that the Brutton and Hessel families will be alright.
The following song has meant something to Kathy and I for many years and we wanted to share it with you.
Thanks for praying.
Reflections
Good afternoon.
Kathy is continuing to do well. With each day that passes, she continues to get a bit more tired. She is also growing weaker by the day. We don’t know how much time she has left, or what shape the upcoming days will take, but we are thankful for the time we have. She is still receiving visitors and her spirits are good. If you haven’t seen her, and would like to, please let me know and we will see what we can do.
After the last update, Kathy wanted me to make sure and remind you that she is not gone yet, and is still very much full of life. (You may even see a blog update from her in the near future!!) She is savoring the little things each day and enjoys reading the comments and notes that she receives. As odd as it may sound, I am very thankful for her Iphone. Between text messages, Facebook and this blog, she has stayed connected to the world outside our bedroom. I cannot overstate how important this has been to her mental health.
Over the last several weeks, I have heard from quite a few folks who have just discovered our blog. I have even heard from a few folks who have gone back to the beginning and read every post. Kathy and I have very much been living in the moment these last few months, and we have not really taken the time to reflect. After hearing from these folks, I decided to experience the blog as they have, from the beginning. This morning, as I enjoyed a quiet house, I reread each post. After reflecting on our journey, some of Kathy’s thoughts stood out to me. Please indulge me as I share some of my favorites.
These are all Kathy’s words.
12/15/2009 – From “I have Cancer” – 4 days after initial diagnosis.
We can’t tell you how very much we have felt every last prayerful hug and warm wish. What a weekend of empowerment! I will not lie, we had our moments, but due to the kids we kept them pretty controlled. And in both of our minds, I died and survived at least 3 times a piece. Above that I still lay it fully in God’s hands. I am truly ok. And y’all can take your cue from that. I am ok. We are going to be ok. I will be periodically updating this blog with our progress and will be setting up a CareCalendar that you can check to see when and in what way we will need help. The only thing we need now is PRAYER. Don’t ya dare stop!! Because there is power in prayer, and God most definitely answers.
12/23/2009 – From “Amen!! And AMEN!!” – 5 days after first chemo treatment
Isn’t our God awesome!!! I was humbled to tears this morning when I woke up and saw the Facebook messages and emails from you letting me know you were praying specifically that I get some rest. It is such an assurance of God’s ever presence that you are continuing to pray for me, and that you are listening to God to pray what I need you to pray for at that moment, and that you listen!!
1/7/2010 – From “The Real Me” – Two weeks into chemo and 5 days after hair loss
I have yet to feel broken from all of this. Granted it has all happened at warp speed, and with the kids as my distraction, who has time to feel anything!?!? Oddly, I feel God is peeling back layers, and that when this is all over I will emerge as the real me. I will have bloomed where He planted me. I have felt at times that my life over the last 3 years was such a mess. And yet, God has taken that tattered fabric that was my life and has woven it slowly into a beautiful tapestry as only He could do. Which is why I can be as strong as I am with this. Only God.
1/12/2010 from “A New Day Means a Better Day” – 4 days after second chemo push
Your prayers continue to be exactly what I need when I need them. Thank you for continuing! So many have said how God is using me right now with this situation to reach out to so many, but do you realize by praying when and what God has laid on your heart to pray for me/us, He’s using you too!?!??! Pretty cool!
1/25/2010 From “He Humbled Me Yet Again” – 5 weeks into treatment
I am beyond humbled that from the start of this journey God has made me very aware that He will use this for His glory, and that as long as I lay it COMPLETELY in His care, I will have no fear, no worries, or a burdened heart; but a heart full of praise and thanks.
1/29/2010 From “The Last Time Until the Next Time” – last aggressive chemo push prior to surgery
I strive to show to our kids the face of strength, and the love of God so they will know how to handle situations they will face.
The cool thing is, I know without a doubt, no matter how tired I get, physically and mentally, God is carrying me close to his breast, as if I’m as small and fragile as a newborn. When I remind myself of that, in an instant it’s all ok again.
2/28/2010 – From “Gratitude and Grace” – about 8 hours before surgery
The house is quiet. I’m realizing I do better with commotion all around me. I have to thank you for praying for us. So many times we find ourselves guilty of telling someone as genuinely as we can that “we will pray for you”, all the while we get caught up in our routine and fail to do so. The fact that we have felt such peace from the beginning of this isn’t just my personal strength, or my talks with God alone. YOU have been praying. At times, my name has crossed your mind, to the point that you send me a card, email, call, seek out this blog site, or message me on Facebook. I have to tell you, that’s not fate, that’s not coincidence. That is God. I thank Him for whispering my name on your hearts these past two months, and I thank Him for you.
04/26/2010 – From “My Little Talk With God” – After about 20 radiation treatments
This morning I climbed up on the hard radiation table as I’ve grown accustomed to doing. Before the machine begins, the techs have you raise your arms above your head. After they left the room, I opened my right hand and with a tear in my eye, asked God to please hold my hand. No, this isn’t my first treatment and I wasn’t scared, just so tired and worn down from all this. Almost as soon as the words left my mind, I heard in my left ear, ” I AM HERE”. It wasn’t loud, maybe a little louder than a breeze and I could tell it was with such warmth and a smile on His face as He took my hand. I felt a warm tingle and my nerves calmed, but then I asked that He help me know that He was there. With that question, can you even imagine the answer I heard?! With the same warm, gentle voice I hear, “I LOVE YOU”. Oh my gosh, isn’t that all we need to hear from Him! Shouldn’t that answer suffice for everything?!!? I think so. Think about it. WOW.
Back to the present.
After reading Kathy’s words, I realized that this entire journey has been a gift. God is working through our circumstances to further His kingdom, which was our prayer from the beginning. God has been faithful as I have heard from a number of people whose lives have been impacted by our journey. What an honor to be used by God in such a way!!
Talk to you soon.
Thanks for reading.
Plans and Preparations
Good Evening loyal readers. This is Mike with an update.
Well, it’s been almost two weeks since Kathy was able to come home from the hospital, and we are settling into a new “normal”. Kathy’s pain seems to have hit a plateau, and for the most part, we are able to keep it under control. Earlier this week, she was even feeling well enough to leave the bedroom and spend some time downstairs in the family room. Needless to say, it is a blessing to have this time with her. We don’t know what the future holds, or how much time Kathy has left, but we are doing our best to enjoy it with friends and family.
Kathy has already exceeded some expectations given to us by the hospice staff, so we are not sure what to expect as we move forward. We are taking things day by day, as we know her condition can change in a hurry. She is not able to stay hydrated, nor is she able to keep any solid food down. We know that her body will not be able to sustain itself with her current level of nutrition. The only question is how long will it take for her organs to begin to shut down.
How long?
That is the question that we face each day. How long do we have? How long will Kathy remain lucid? How long will she last after she is no longer lucid? What happens next?
These questions make it difficult to prepare. These questions frustrate me.
I guess I paid attention in Cub Scouts, because I always like to be prepared. Right now, I am frustrated because I feel that I cannot adequately prepare for what happens next. I feel like I need more answers in order to prepare, and unfortunately, those answers are beyond my reach.
As frustrated as I am with by my own inability to prepare, I am comforted in knowing that over the past several years, God has been preparing us to walk this road.
You see, as I reflect on the past few years, I am able to see evidence of a plan. Allow me to cite a few examples.
New Church Family
Throughout 2008, we were feeling led to explore a new church home. We finally heeded the call and visited FBC Arnold. We immediately felt at home. Kathy got involved in the choir, and we plugged into a great Bible study class and made some fast friends. We joined the church shortly thereafter. So what does this have to do with God’s plan? Well, as many of you know, FBCA is an enormous church. The average Sunday attendance numbers in the thousands. The church we came from was nowhere near as large. Now, bigger does not always mean better, but when Kathy was diagnosed in December of 2009, the sheer number of people who volunteered to help was overwhelming. Our freezer was full of meals, and there was no shortage of folks to help with childcare. Our former church had not forgotten about us either as we received plenty of help from them as well. I’m sure God had several reasons for leading us to FBCA, but I truly believe that He intentionally enlarged our circle knowing of the days to come.
My Mom
On September 30th 2009, at age 72, my mother passed away after battling cancer for 15 months. The last 30 days of her life were spent in hospice care. I am not so presumptuous or self centered to think my mother’s death occurred to prepare us for this journey, but we certainly learned a lot from her battle. We learned what cancer was, and how it attacked the body. We learned about chemotherapy and its side effects. We learned about pain management and hospice care. We learned about the dying process. Perhaps most importantly we learned what to expect. I believe every human being has a healthy fear of the unknown. It’s only natural that we would fear what we don’t know. Over the last 11 months, when we heard words like cancer, chemo, surgery, and most recently, hospice, we did not fear. We had heard those words before and we knew what to expect. The words still caused pain, and there were still things we did not know, but we had an overwhelming sense of peace because we knew what to expect.
Annie’s Hope
In March of 2009, I received an email from our Executive VP in New York. In that email, I learned that my company had indirectly provided some financial support to a local organization named Annie’s Hope. He asked me to do what I could to get involved and provide some local support. After taking a look at their website, www.AnniesHope.org, I was excited about pitching in and doing what I could to help. You see, I work in the life insurance industry, and Annie’s Hope works with kids who have lost a loved one so it seemed like a perfect fit. I envisioned a future in which my day job was helping families plan for the financial realities that must be addressed after the death of a loved one, and my volunteer work would be helping children cope with the emotional realities that must be addressed after death of a loved one. After spending some time with the staff, and seeing first hand some of the services provided, I was ready to jump in. On December 8th, I had lunch with Becky, the Executive Director. I left that meeting with the paperwork necessary to serve on their Board of Directors. Three days later, on December 11th, Kathy was diagnosed with cancer. Needless to say, I never filled out the paperwork. I did however, stay as involved as I could with Annie’s Hope, and over this past summer I was able to secure an additional grant for Annie’s Hope through the charitable foundation of my company. One of my company’s public relations folks asked me for a quote in regard to the grant. I told them this. . .”In the next several months, a child in St. Louis will lose someone important. Because of our company’s support of Annie’s Hope, that child will not have to face it alone.”
Little did I know at the time, I was referring to my own children.
So let’s review shall we?
In the year prior to Kathy’s diagnosis, our circle was enlarged, we learned about cancer and all that goes with it, and we were introduced to an organization that cares for grieving children.
That doesn’t just happen.
It has to be part of a plan.
(Oh, and by the way, over the past couple of years, there are a number of other things I can point to as additional evidence of a plan, but this update is already too long!)
Over the past several weeks, I have received a number of comments on how calm we are in dealing with this. It seems some folks have a hard time understanding how we can be at peace with something so sad. We have peace, because we know there is a plan in place. We know where Kathy is going. While the kids and I don’t know what the future holds for us, we know that preparations are being made on our behalf.
Earlier, I mentioned my frustration with my inability to adequately prepare. As frustrated as I am with my own inability, I am satisfied with God’s ability to prepare.
We don’t need to fear the future because we see God in our past.
The Brutton family is prepared.
Thanks for reading . . . now go hug somebody.
Thankful
Good Evening Brutton Blog readers: Mike here with an update.
I continue to be overwhelmed by the response to our blog. What started out as an efficient method to keep friends and family updated, has ultimately become a source of encouragement not only to us, but to many who read it. Over the past several days, the blog has been viewed thousands of times and we have received countless comments on the impact it is having on lives of friends, acquaintances and complete strangers. I am thankful for every comment. Unfortunately, I am not able to respond to each comment, but please know that they are read and appreciated.
Forgive me for not updating the blog more often, as I know everyone is interested in how Kathy is doing, but this has been a tiring week. Our primary job is to keep Kathy comfortable, and it has taken us a few days to put together the right combination of narcotics, diet and hydration. As I compose this blog, she is lying a few feet away, heavily sedated and on oxygen, but resting comfortably. We can consider that a success. Unfortunately, the narcotics, while keeping her comfortable, also rob her of consciousness. As she nears the end of her journey, this will only get worse. She will sleep much of the time, and her waking moments will be fleeting. We are doing our best to make the most of those times when she is conscious.
One of those times was tonight. Today, October 28th is her sister Becky’s 37th birthday. (It’s really only her 35th, I just threw that in cause I know it would make her nostrils flare. Love ya Beck!!!!) It was really important to Kathy to celebrate Becky’s birthday this evening so the family all gathered at our house. We enjoyed a meal and some fellowship. We also enjoyed making Becky wear a pink party hat and birthday sash. I would post a picture, but Becky knows where I live and I am already on thin ice after that 37th birthday comment, so I’m gonna play it safe and let you use your imagination!
Kathy is also hoping to complete some small projects for the kids. It is important that they kids know just how much their mom loves them. Please pray that Kathy has the energy to complete these projects in the coming days, as I know they will mean a great deal to the kids in the coming years.
Kathy’s mental state continues to be a testament to her faith. While she has her moments of frustration due to her pain, she is very much at peace with what happens next. I am thankful for her as she is a comfort to the rest of us.
I have many things to be thankful for. I am thankful for all the help we have received around the house in the past week. I am thankful for all the food that has shown up at our door . (I am also thankful for the deep freeze in my basement to store it all). I am most thankful for all the prayers that have been sent our way. In the past few days, I have heard from many folks who have added us to the prayer list at their church. At last count, I believe we are on no less than 20 church prayer lists. I again find myself overwhelmed at the number of complete strangers who are willing to travel this road with us. Thank you to all who have prayed on our behalf.
I will close with this. James 4:10 says “Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up.”
This experience has left me humbled, and I have no doubt that the Lord has not only lifted us, but carried us through this season of our life. For that I am thankful.
Thanks for reading .
Why?
Good Morning Brutton blog readers.
It is early. Obscenely early. Yet I am awake, and I believe there is a reason.
But before I share that reason, let me update you all on the latest.
After 4 days in the hospital, Kathy is home! I was able to bring her home on Friday evening and I saw an almost immediate change in her. Instead of going up to bed, she sat in the living room most of the evening and just enjoyed being home. Since then, things have been a blur of family visitors, hospice nurses, and food. Lots of food. Today looks to be similar, so if you hear a loud pop coming from Oakville, it is probably just my stomach exploding!
In all seriousness though, we are thankful for these moments. It is nice to have a house full of people to ride this rollercoaster with.
So back to my reason for being up obscenely early. Well, Kathy woke me a couple of hours ago in need of some pain medication, and after getting her taken care and back to sleep, I laid awake. I laid awake thinking. Pondering. Searching. I laid awake long enough that I was able to formulate some thoughts, and since there is no time like the present, I grabbed the computer and started typing.
You see, I was fixated on a question I have heard numerous times over the last year, and increasingly often the last few days.
Why?
I have heard this question from friends. I have heard it from family. I have heard it innocently through the eyes of a 5 year old girl, and painfully through the tears of an 8 year old girl. I have heard it with anger. I have heard it with bewilderment. I have heard it with sadness. I have heard it with peace.
Regardless the number of times I have heard it, my answer remains unchanged.
I don’t know.
I don’t know why I am losing my wife. I don’t know why my children are losing their mother. I don’t know why others are losing a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a cousin, a niece, a friend. I simply do not know.
But I do know this. There is a reason.
Romans 8:28 says: “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
All things. That sounds pretty thorough. All things means that in what my family and friends are enduring right now, God is working for good. God has a reason.
In the Bible, there are numerous examples of people enduring hardships that were ultimately used to glorify God. Sometimes, through the miraculous healing power of Christ, the hardship was lifted. Sometimes the hardship was endured, so that you or I might read about it thousands of years later and be encouraged.
I am not under the illusion that a miraculous healing will take place, or anyone will be reading these words 1 year from now much less than thousands, but I do believe there is a reason for all of this.
You see, over the last several days, thousands of people have read this blog. You are reading it right now. Perhaps after reading it, you say the first prayer you have said in a long time. Maybe you hug your family a little tighter today. Maybe you look for an opportunity to help someone. Maybe you go to church. Perhaps you dig out a dust covered Bible and look up Romans 8:28 to see if I was lying! Maybe you keep reading that Bible. Maybe you cruise on over to John 3:16. Maybe today is the first step in coming to a personal relationship with Jesus. Maybe, just maybe, today is the start of something new.
Now multiply that by thousands.
God is working for good in this. Of this I have no doubt.
Why is this happening?
I don’t know.
And I’m okay with that.
Thanks for reading and have a great day.
The Day After
Hello all, this is Mike updating the Brutton family blog as Kathy is not feeling up to it these days.
First of all, let me say that I am absolutely overwhelmed with the response to my last update. Since then, our little blog has been viewed over 6,000 times! I am humbled by and thankful for the amount of people sending prayers our way.
Now for an update on Kathy. As of now, she is still in the hospital, but it looks almost certain that she will come home tomorrow. I am meeting with some folks from the Hospice tomorrow morning, and then a hospital bed and some other equipment is being delivered to make the transition easier. It will be good to have her home. The kids and I have missed having her here the last few days, and although she will not be able to do many of the ‘mom’ things when she gets home, she will still be under the same roof and we will have our family intact again.
With Kathy remaining in the hospital again last night, I decided to go ahead and tell the girls. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever had to do. I am thankful for the folks over at Annie’s Hope. After spending some time speaking with the director of their Horizons program, I felt equipped with the words to say.
I chose to speak with Maddie and Sarah separately as they are two very different little girls. I have chosen to keep the details of those conversations private, but after lots of hugs, tears, prayer and even some laughter, we were able to take our first steps on this new journey together. I am so blessed to have such wonderful children, and I am determined to be the best father I can be. 
I gave the girls the option of staying home from school today, and they both accepted. Kathy’s mom was able to spend the day at the hospital, so I decided to stay home with my children. After having a bit of a lazy morning, I surprised the kids with lunch at one of our favorite places, Seamus McDaniel’s in Dogtown.
After lunch we headed over to Suson Park to play and see some of the animals. The fall colors were on display and the weather was gorgeous. It was a wonderful day.
In my last update, I mentioned my belief that there was a plan in place. I believe with everything I have that we are being watched over and seen through our journey. I am planning on sharing more thoughts on this in a subsequent update, but for now, allow me to share a couple of things that happened today. 
As we were walking around the park today, Colin was standing in an area of leaves and I thought it would make for a nice picture. As I was snapping the picture, Colin noticed something off in the distance, and pointed. It wasn’t until I got back in the car and looked at the photo that I noticed there was something else in the picture. I was overwhelmed with the feeling that we were being watched over.
As I was driving to the restaurant for lunch, I realized the radio was off and we were driving in silence. I told the kids I thought we needed some music and flipped the radio on. A song was beginning. I had never heard this song before, but I knew in that moment, it was being played for me. The video below has the song and the lyrics, and I believe it is worth your time to listen as it captures what my family is going through.
Indeed we will praise Him in this storm, as He is with us.
Thanks for reading.
Answers
Good evening everyone. This is Mike updating the Brutton family blog.
Forgive me for leaving the last update a little vague. I felt compelled to update you with what was going on, but frankly, we had more questions than answers at the time.
On Monday, we got some answers.
As I mentioned, Kathy has been having some pain in her abdomen over the last couple of months. A recent Pet CT scan showed a couple of spots of that were concerning so we scheduled a laparoscopic procedure to take a look. The plan was to insert a scope into her abdomen to see what these spots were and take some tissue samples for biopsy. After making his initial incision, the surgeon put a couple of fingers into Kathy’s abdomen and was able to feel a number of hard nodules. At this point he closed her up as he no longer needed the scope. You see, hard nodules are not supposed to take up residence in one’s abdomen. The words he used to describe it were “her abdomen is full of cancer” and his prognosis was very grim.
After speaking with Kathy’s oncologist today, we got confirmation that the cancer had returned and progressed to the point that she cannot be cured.
It is now just a matter of time.
We have no way of knowing how much time she has left, but there is a very real chance she will not see 2011.
Right now she is in the hospital, but I am hoping to bring her home in the next day or two. Once she is home, we will tell the kids. (They don’t know yet, so if you happen to interact with my children over the next few days, please be very careful not let something slip. Once we have told the kids, I will let you all know) I am thankful for the kind folks over at Annie’s Hope and their willingness to prepare Kathy and I with the words to say. I plan to take leave from work starting immediately in order to spend as much time as possible with Kathy and the kids.
Over the last couple of days, a number of folks have asked me what they can do to help. I am appreciative of every offer, and we will certainly need various types of help as we move forward, but right now the biggest help anyone can provide is prayer. The Brutton family needs prayer.
Please pray that Kathy’s pain would subside and she can live out her final days in comfort.
Please pray for Kathy and I as we tell our children that their mommy is going home to heaven.
Please pray for my children as they struggle to understand.
Please pray for me as I care for my wife and children in the coming weeks.
Please pray for Kathy’s parents as they are faced with something no parent should ever have to be faced with.
Most of all, please pray that God will use our journey to further His Kingdom. I believe with all my heart that there is a plan in place, and though difficult, Kathy’s suffering is a part of that plan and will ultimately be used for more good than we can comprehend.
In my last update, I reposted an entry from March of this year discussing Faith. Those words still ring true.
As I said then, I will say now . . . .
The Brutton family will be alright. The Brutton will keep the Faith.
