A year ago today (Oct. 8. 2019) I found that I had cancer. I’ve been reflecting much of the day on the past year. The overwhelming feeling in my heart is… THANK YOU!
I’m deeply grateful for the incredible outpouring of love and support: the kind words, the notes, the texts, the prayers, the practical help, and the thoughtful gifts. It’s been by far the most challenging year of my life. I say this hesitantly, but I think I got a glimpse of what it means to suffer. I’ve embraced my weakness and mortality.
There would be far too many people to thank by name, but I will mention my #1 supporter, Nana. She has been incredible. Her grace, strength and love have been unwavering. It’s such a privilege to do life with her. There’s no one with whom I’d rather go through the valley of the shadow of death.
I am most grateful to God. I’ve experienced God being near, His love and His strength more than ever in my life. My hope and my confidence is in God alone. He gets all the credit for the good that has happened and the grace to walk through it all.
So from the bottom of my heart: THANK YOU!
