tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-125025002012-01-24T22:39:37.809-05:00This is the official blog for Update on Zack – the new book about Zack Homrighaus and his journey through brain cancer. Update on Zack tells Zack’s story through the prayer request and update emails that we sent out over 3 ½ years. Diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiforme at 17, Zack faced his cancer with humor and strength. Come here to share your own Zack stories, to see how the book is doing, and to be inspired by God’s amazing love and one young man’s faith and courage.Barbarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09823668513377417260noreply@blogger.comBlogger571100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12502500.post-60334041190108355562008-12-31T22:06:00.002-05:002008-12-31T22:20:46.509-05:00

Haven't posted in a LONG time and want to say "Hi" and Happy New Year to all. These past few days have been tough - on the 27th it was five years since the evening Zack left us. We took some flowers out to his grave and prayed, as we often do. It was just somehow harder this year. Five seems to be a significant number to people, maybe since we have five fingers on each hand. I was

This is one of my favorite pictures. It is of Ariel and Zack in Gold Country, in the summer of 1993. Ariel was almost two and Zack was 10 1/2. I love it because it shows so clearly how they adored each other. I guess their age difference cut out a lot of the rivalry and they just mostly had fun together.I have had a great Mother's Day. Ken and kids have always made it nice and this year

I know how boring it is to go to a site and have it not change for days, weeks, etc. Ariel and I have been sick with some Australian virus for at least 6 weeks now, dizziness, fever, headaches, nausea - woohoo we're having some fun!! Just wanted to touch base to tell you I hadn't forgotten you and also that I have not given up on the blog or the book. It just has taken everything I've had to

We have had so many people we know lose parents in this last year, including of course, us, because we lost Ken's father in September. That, coupled with the 2nd anniversary of Zack's death, has made me think a lot more about heaven. Actually, I began to think seriously about it, trying to really imagine it, since we knew Zack was terminal. I tried to get all the info I could about it and he and

In an earlier blog, I talked about how there is no time in Heaven. Just wanted to let you know that I haven't forgotten the music, but there is time here and I've been spending this last week with Ariel, getting ready for the end of summer vacation and for her new school year to begin. She is in Australian Year 10 now and started classes today, on Tues.I love honoring God and Zack and sharing

I love this song because, to me, it explains the Christian perspective on salvation better than any song I've ever heard. Also, it came out the year after we lost Zack, and it was so comforting to remember that in the pits of my depression and utter sadness, God was there, He cared and He understood. Listening to this song is bittersweet for me because it reminds me how fragile Zack's life

Morning!If you do not know me, I'm Mandi, Zack's cousin.Not many have met me, or could know me by sight.When things took a downhill slide for Zach, I was Navy-bound,all over the world, protecting and serving, not just us, but, othercountries as well.I was off the coast of Florida, when I saw a glimmer of land, and tried my cell phone for signal. Something was urging me to call.I saw two bars on

I chose this song today because prayer is the theme of the day. This song actually came out after Zack left us, but he would have really liked Casting Crowns. They have a good sound and their messages are bold, comforting and thought provoking. Today, I joined a new prayer ministry at our Australian home church, Kenmore Baptist Church. After what we have been through and all we've seen of the

The day I was supposed to write this blog was a Sat., the 14th. I'm actually writing it later, but posting then so the days will stay in order - got that? Anyway, last Saturday, we were trying to decide what to do for dinner. It was about 6:30 p.m. and I said, "Hey, let's go to the store and get something to grill, make a salad . . . ." Ken reminded me that here in Brisbane, the grocery stores

Ariel reminded me yesterday that one of Zack's favorite songs was "Stupid" by The W's. They are a ska/swing type band - very snappy and funny lyrics. I have tried in vain to find the words to Stupid but can't. If anyone reading this knows the song, please fill in the missing parts. Today, if you click on the blog title, it won't take you to The W's but below I have a link to a site where you can

Hey, so time to perk things up a bit. I know Zack would have had respect for remembering someone who was gone, but I'm sure he'd also want to go do something more lighthearted afterward.So, without further ado, here is one of Zack's favorite singers, Weird Al. Zack and Weird Al shared three characteristics: humor, using words to entertain and, most importantly, a gift for being a first class

Today is Zack's 23rd birthday. I know it is redundant for me to say we miss him, but we do. How do you remember/celebrate a day like this when your child is no longer with you?We can think back on past birthdays and how much fun we had. Zack's 18th birthday was really a fun time. Zack and his friends had a whole grill to themselves at Kobe, our favorite habachi, Benihana-style restaurant and

There is no time in Heaven, but here on Earth, today is the second Anniversary of when we lost Zack. It's hard to explain what this is like if you've never lived through it. We don't want to weep and mourn and talk about him all day; on the other hand, we don't want to pretend like it's just any other day. This day was a sad day, but a sacred one. It was the end of Zack's earthly life but just

Zack loved music. He was also blessed with a great singing voice. It was a joy to stand next to him in church or to hear him just singing around the house sometimes. The Newsboys (from Queensland, Australia - where we are right now!) were his favorite group, but there were many others that he liked and listened to.Since music has played such a huge role in our Christian walk - as encouragement,

Ken's father, Zack's PaPa, passed away on Sept. 22nd near Beaumont, TX while fleeing from Hurricane Rita. I can only imagine the joy on his face when he was able to see, for the first time, his grown-up grandson Zack. The last time he had sight on Earth, Zack was just almost 5 years old. Although Ken's dad had a rough life at times, we really believe that he repented of his former life and

Please pray for everyone in the path of Rita. It seems wrong somehow for us to be safe over here when so many people we love and care about are in harm's way. We are praying for each and every one of you. Please let us know how you are after the hurricane.

Hooray - we're finally on line. The week of the move was fraught will all sorts of unpleasant surprises, but all ended well, so that's okay. I can go into more detail later but for now I'll just say that the car was eventually sold, Alan's emergency heart surgery went well and Clyde was able to walk Nicole down the aisle and danced the father/daughter dance with her at the reception.Sorry we were

In the meantime, watch your email in-box for the latest and Final "Update on Zack." As we celebrate our freedom, remember to pray for our troops at home and abroad.

Ariel, P.J. and I went and saw the new Star Wars movie this evening. I remember standing in line for an hour and a half with Christie Webb, in the hot Dallas sun, just to get a ticket to see the first one. It was worth it though. It's fun to tell young folk that back in the day, Star Wars had cutting edge special effects. I love to see their face. I really appreciated this episode because it

Karen Long is my best friend. Today is her birthday - she's younger than me and I'm not saying by how much - so I wanted to tell you about her. Karen's the kind of friend that everyone wishes they had and if they are very blessed, as I am, they get the chance to have. She actually knew Zack before I did. She got Ken and I together. I had introduced her to her husband, Clyde, 9 years earlier, so

Tomorrow, may 21st, it will be 16 years since Ken and I got married. He is in our new home in Brisbane this week. It is always difficult having a special day apart from each other. I guess we're just used to it, with all his travel over the years, but I still would rather be on the same continent - call me sentimental. We actually met on May 21st at my friend Karen Long's surprise birthday party.

Us, Karen and Clyde Long, Zack, Nicole (soon to be a bride herself) and Dallas. We still look exactly like that, except for the kids. Honest. Really.

I don't deserve the life I've been given, but I thank God every day for having mercy on my soul and giving me this life - uncertainty, joy, grief, happiness, and everything - and this great guy to share it with. Happy Anniversary, Bunny.

Wow - just occurred to me that today it is 2 months till we leave for our California trip and then on to Australia. Time is definitely flying and definitely not my friend. I feel so absolutely overwhelmed with everything that has to happen between now and then. Ariel finishes 7th grade next Thursday. Then we have about a week free (free- ha, that's a laugh!), then last night out with my Bunco

Zack and his friend, Catherine, the evening of Zack's Senior Prom. Tonight is Senior Prom Night in The Woodlands. Everywhere I went this evening, there were young people out on dates and with friends, dressed up, laughing and having a great time. It reminded me of the many times Zack rented a tux, often with his own money, and went out to formal events. The light breeze tonight is warm and soft,

I'm glad you've dropped by the Update on Zack blog. You have probably gotten a confusing note or two from me this week about how to view and/or join this blog. This was not actually a plot to frustrate you. No, this was me trying to figure out a new way of using computers and learning as I go. (To actually join the blog, email me and I'll send you an invitation. It looks like spam, sender

If you knew Zack, or were one of the many who were praying for him, please post any stories that you would like to share. I will screen the stories and may do some editing before they are published for all to see. Remember, we don't want any flaming, swearing, any other uncivilized behavior. Everyone else, welcome and enjoy the blog.

Zack is my son. This will seem a strange statement to some of those who know us well because Zack is no longer with us on Earth, having lost his battle with Glioblastoma Multiforme on December 27, 2003. In addition, those who know us very well will know that Zack was actually my stepson, although none of us ever thought of it that way. But those two facts don't matter. Zack is my son. He is

You have found the official blog for "Update on Zack" - the story of Zack Homrighaus and his, and our, journey through brain cancer. Zack was diagnosed with brain cancer at the age of 17, after a church hiking trip to the mountains brought it to light. From the very beginning, we reached out to our friends and family through email - requesting prayer and giving updates on Zack's condition. These
