Thanksgiving

While we reflect and celebrate how far we've come since the devastating news of Jaxon's diagnosis, we are also keenly more aware now than ever, about the tragedies many families are facing. Each childhood cancer experience is different for different kids and their families. Some have more optimistic diagnostic outcomes than others. We got one of the good ones. It's still really terrible for us but it could be oh so very much worse. 

My friend Pam (mom to Audrey) wrote these words this weekend, and I want to share (with permission) as it's such an important reminder.


"Thanksgiving Weekend ... while I won't be diminishing the blessings we are so thankful for, others will be on my heart and mind this weekend. Please think of and pray for families who have learned devastating news in the past couple of weeks. Pray for those facing the loss of a child. Pray for those who have received new diagnoses. Pray for those who are experiencing a first Thanksgiving without a child.
 Love to all who this applies to ...  you are not forgotten. ♡"

  1. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. That verse is precious to me as it was the one that helped me through a dark time 4 years ago.
