I’ve written about being thankful before, but once again tonight, I am feeling so very thankful. I talked tonight to a sweet friend– she has a good friend whose four year old is in the hospital, fighting cancer. As we chatted, I kept thinking of these beautiful faces. Of what it would be like to watch them, in the hospital, fighting for their lives. I am so very thankful that I was the one to have cancer. I’m thankful that I’ve come this through quickly and as strong as ever. Stronger than ever, really. But mostly, I’m thankful that these precious children are healthy, happy, goofy, strong. (Even when Sally asked them to be serious, Turner could hardly hold a straight face! Emma Clare, ever the model, gave a great blue steel look!) So tonight I pray. A prayer of strength for a mother facing her worst nightmare, a prayer of healing for her sweet little one. And a prayer of thanksgiving for these two healthy goofballs.
Again, thankful
