As you can imagine, we are especially thankful this year! It was almost exactly a year ago that we first discovered the tumor in Andrew's chest that quickly led to the lymphoma diagnosis. What a crazy year it has been! The journey hasn't been "fun," nor is it "over," but we are grateful that - as my sis in law Kelly said yesterday - Andrew has been a poster child for how to live an active lifestyle with cancer. We don't recommend this journey, but it has led us to treasure all of our many blessings even more than before. We count each of you among our blessings! And hope that you enjoy counting your own this holiday season.
Rocko was a delight while you were in DE :) LOVE D's boots! We are thankful that your family came into our lives through your wonderful younger son.
