One Year

One year ago today, Friday the 13th of 2009, Evan waltzed into the doctor's office with a cough.
We had no idea that day that the next year of our lives would be consumed by cancer.
And we also didn't know that during that same year we would find love and happiness that could only be brought about by a trial.
Our trial was cancer.
And through that trial, we are better. We are real. We are us.
As much as I feel like this isn't the type of day that we should celebrate, I do celebrate.
Because we came out on the other side just fine.
And coincidentally, we are having family pictures made today. Pictures of our kids, pictures of us, and pictures of us and the kids with their grandparents.
I think it will be so cool to see those pictures and to see the images of a family that survived a trial.
We made it together.
And I thank the Lord each day for Evan's health and our sweet families.
Thank you God for this year.

  1. Very glad you made him go to the doctor that day. And very glad that here we are a year later and he's healthy and we're going to Disney to see him run! Love you both so much.
