This is my 20th post to my blog and the last one required for class.  I am planning on keeping it going for awhile because it has been good for Jim and I.  Thank you to everyone who spent time reading and posting.  It has been a huge source of encouragement to us.

As I look back over the last twenty postings I am amazed at the information that I gathered and posted.  It is truly amazing the resources that are out there for care and support.  Cancer diagnosis can be a frightening time.  Jim and I experienced a lot of emotions during his diagnosis, treatment and beginning our "new normal".  Without the care and support of family, friends and medical staff that loved on us, things could have been a lot different.  Know that you never have to walk this road alone.  There are people that will love and support you if you let your needs be known. 

Since Jim has completed chemotherapy we are well on our way to carving out our "new normal". Every day we are continually looking for ways to care and support others.  Jim has been able to reach out to those that are walking the road that he has walked.  I have been able to love on many people that are experiencing what we have endured.  I believe that God allows things to happen to us for a reason.  I thank Him every day for healing my husband.  Each day is truly a gift and I pray for opportunities to be there for others and to be a blessing.

Look for more postings in the future and thank you for walking this journey with us!

  1. I enjoyed and appreciated this posting. I agree with your comment that God allows things to happen for a reason. I have said that same thing having gone through Hurricane Katrina. Even though our circumstances were different, the ability to get through was the same. But with the love of a heavenly father and the knowledge that he will never leave you, God saw us all through. You and Jim are true servants of God and a blessing to all.
