After everything our family has been through this past year, it seemed like there had to be a day when good news came our way. Well, today was the day. My mom had an appointment this morning with her doctor and got great news. It looks like her CLL diagnosis seems to be at very early stages and should be able to be managed by closely monitoring it. I couldn't be happier and more thankful. Words can't even describe how I feel. It is the most amazing feeling of relief.
Tyler is also doing great and seems to be progressing to better and stronger health each day. On Sunday I was able to hold him and enjoyed rocking him as he slept. With his improvement and my mom's great diagnosis, I am so, so thankful.
Sometimes you wonder why you are given so many challenges in life at the same time. I kept thinking why all of this for one family, it doesn't seem fair. But I've soon realized that this has shown me that no matter what life brings us, we can get through it together. I've been so blessed with the best family and friends and wouldn't want to change a thing. I've learned how important my own faith is through the last few months. It is important for me to thank god for all these miracles and to see the amazing power of prayer at work. Visiting with Tyler on Sunday made me realize what a miracle recover he has had. He is going to be such an amazing part of our lives and will continuely remind us how precious life really is.
I'm thankful today for...
My wonderful, supportive family. I'm truly blessed for the most amazing family anyone could ever ask for. During even the craziest times, we always manage to laugh and smile.
Jason...Through my own ups and downs, he is the first to lift me up. I first fell in love with him for his optimism and positive attitude. He reminds me to keep going, keep pushing myself and even if I don't feel my best to keep finding the good. I'm so lucky.
Heidi...She is a role model to so many people and I'm so proud to have her as my sister. She has shown such faith, strength, love and hope through Tyler's surgery and recovery. I've never met anyone with such a positive outlook on life. She is truly amazing.
My friends...I couldn't have asked for a better group of friends. From swimming to high school to college and jobs I've met some of the most amazing people. I know I can lean on them to support me when needed.
The Maddox's...Not many people can say that they have another family that is quite as great as there own. Well, somehow I've been blessed with double the luck. Since the day I met them, I soon realized how Jason became the man he is. They are amazing, supportive parents that have always made me feel like a daughter to them.
When I think back on all these wonderful people that I've been blessed with in my life, I realize how lucky I am. What A Wonderful World.
