The Journey Continues: Today and looking back a year

A year ago today Richard checked into OU Medical. He spent the next several days having intense chemo to prepare him for the bone marrow transplant that would take place the following week.  He knew that he would miss several end of the school events but he also knew that this was the procedure that could give him many more years of events.  He knew the risks but he knew what the alternative was.

Tonight he enjoyed the band concert and watching his daughter perform a solo.  Part of the enjoyment was that she didn't know she was playing until she looked at the program!  The look on her face was priceless!! The look on Richard's face was even better!! Thank-you band director!!!


       

I am praying for many more years of events to enjoy with my husband.  I thank God for His mercy of at least one more year and beg Him for many more!!  Thanks again to everyone for the prayers then, now and tomorrow!! God has blessed us with your prayers, kindness, words and encouragements!!!


1 Thessalonians 5:16-18

New International Version (NIV)
16 Rejoice always, 17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

    It's amazing to think of where you were in that place a year ago and only God could see a year ahead. It's comforting to me to know that He has written our beginning and our end and I need only walk where He leads. Ever and always praying...
