Don’t we all love sharing the good stuff in life? The fun, happy moments, the times that “feel” worth celebrating?
I know I do, I love fun and I love happy. But let’s be honest, that’s not life. We hope that most of life is good, but there is the inevitable bad, hard, challenging.
This year has been nothing short of challenging. Before Thanksgiving last year we found out my dad had cancer and the week before Christmas he was diagnosed with stage 4 esophageal cancer. Definitely not what we were hoping to unwrap under the Christmas tree.
With what felt like a million phone calls, pushing and prodding doctors and schedulers we were able to schedule him for his first chemo to start the day after Christmas.
His very intense 5 day chemo regimen was a swift kick in the butt, but after the 7 treatments it appeared the chemo was working, plus the hours of being on my knees praying. God does do miracles! We were astounded by the news! The doctor wanted to switch him to a different regime since a persons body can only handle so much.
