These bright, cheery flowers greeted Chris when he went for his Doctor visit yesterday. They were presented with Congratulations on FIVE YEARS Cancer-Free. That was a cherished goal, and the uplifting of many, many prayers.
Our family has recently suffered a great tragedy and loss, and so we will try to concentrate on the Good Things as we grieve---the sweet memories and the times of joy, and we know that we have been Truly Blessed.
Rachel - I'm so happy for Chris. And so sorry for the loss. Love and good thoughts from me.
ReplyDeleteRachel, please know that my heart hurts for you and your family as you go through this sad time.

Hi, my friend....I've missed talking to you. I am so thankful for your good news about Chris. What worries that must alleviate! And, I can hear in your voice that you are hurting deeply in your loss. I am so sorry. Rejoicing and Grieving all at the same time...2 totally different emotions that take so much out of you. How wonderful to know that God offers us so much to be thankful for in the midst of tragedy. It sure helps me to keep going sometimes. God bless you, my friend.
