Prayers...

In April, 2010, when Andrew was 2 1/2, a tumor was discovered behind his eye. The tumor was removed, but it was found to be an aggressive cancer. He endured seven months of chemo and six weeks radiation. In December of 2010, the day after his last treatment, he was rushed to the ER with an almost fatal bacterial infection. He survived.

He is now seven-years-old!! I don't visit here much, because during the ordeal, this is where I dumped everything--my rage, my fear, my sadness, my ugly, my hope, my everything. But I want all of you who supported and prayed for us to hear his updates. You helped me survive, and I am deeply thankful. Every once in awhile, I will check in to let you know how he's doing. Please continue to pray that cancer will never return to his body. Thank you.

You Capture: Comfort

Comfort...
A few more moments in a soft bed
A tight hug from a tiny body
An unexpected cup of coffee
A welcome embrace
A toothless smile
A bowl of salty chips
A familiar face in a new crowd
A favorite pair of jeans
A firm, protective touch
An old couch
A peaceful home
A warm, gracious greeting
A plush pillow
A decadent dessert
A cheesy, caloric pasta
An understanding shoulder
A silent massage
A snuggly frog


Wishing you comfort, however you find it.
