I know so many of you have been supporting me throughout our struggles and words simply cannot express our extreme gratitude! Whether near or far, we can feel the warmth of your prayers, your thoughts, your encouragement. We love you all for that. But I also know that several of you want to do more and you’re just not sure what that “more” could be. Well, I found this brochure recently with some great ideas. Rather than type them all out here for you, click here at the Choose Hope website for the full list of helpful ideas. There are some really creative and comforting ideas and all of them are completely acceptable to me in my situation (ie, even though I haven’t lost my hair, etc). The slumber party idea sounds fun and I always appreciate your cards and notes (if you have kiddos, I’d love a hand-drawn picture from them, even if they don’t understand what’s up with me!).

This morning I watched a brief clip of a woman who was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer. She said she went through a lot of chemotherapy, intensive surgery, and 6 months of radiation…and today she is cancer free!!!! When I saw that I said, aloud to Honey, “YEAH! THAT’S TOTALLY GONNA BE ME!!!!” Horray for inspiring stories coming out of the woodwork!

Have a great weekend everyone!
