One Year

Today is one year since Hannah was diagnosed. It seems like yesterday. It has been interesting, today, to think back over what we were doing on this day a year ago. It hit me that I remember the details leading up to and following her diagnosis more vividly than I remember the details of our wedding or the births of our children. I think that must be because events like births and weddings are happy, natural things. I asked the kids what they remember about it. Lauren remembers crying with my mom when she told her that Hannah was very sick and had to go to the hospital in Atlanta. Evan remembers Aunt Maria explaining to them what Leukemia is. Hannah said she remembers everything, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. I'm hoping that she will forget most of the yucky stuff.

We are not quite halfway finished with her treatment. It feels like forever. But if she keeps handling everything as well as she has been, we're not going to complain! Most of all, Eric and I are just thankful. Thankful to have her with us, thankful that she feels good most of the time, thankful for friends and family, and thankful for access to good doctors, nurses and medicine.

We pray for Hannah and your family very often. May God strengthen and encourage you as you care for Hannah. Please tell the kids we said "hello." We'd love to see y'all again sometime! It's been forever~
