I was thinking about some of the wonderful blessings that we received last year and
wanted to mention them. First and foremost is that I was told that I was in
remission. What a blessing. I have the best family and friends and doctors that have
helped me through this journey. God has truly been there for me and taught me so
much. We also had another wonderful miracle. Our lovely daughter, Maria, and her
husband Bryan had another child. Sam was born in October and truly was a miracle
child. Their other child, Tate, is about 6 years older that Sam and he prayed him
here. Tate also prayed for me and gave me money on a regular basis to help with the
cancer. So those are two of the great miracles that we had in our family this last
year. Another blessing is that our daughter Christina and her husband Joseph are
expecting another son in a few weeks, and our son James and Julie also got pregnant
last year and will be having their baby girl in April.
I've got to mention again the unexpected but absolutely wonderful blessing of having
brand new carpeting in our home....given as a Christmas gift from someone who wants to
remain anonymous. I love walking on it and it looks so perfect in our home. I just
think it is beautiful.
We have much to be grateful for. I love life and have great hopes for another
wonderful year! (and it's gonna be a good one!)
