10 day count down and counting my blessings

Well it has been a very LONG week Gary continues to go up and down health wise. Thanksgiving was declared not horrible but pretty close by our children. But you know through the darkest times God still sends glimmers of blessing. It seems everyday there is a new blessing from a friend offering his talents to bless with a family portrait ( something we havent had for 9 years) to my sister picking up the doll that Merry fell to her knees and PLEADED with God to tell Santa. It is so easy to just slip into depression and just want to crawl in a hole but as some say we are trying to choose to flourish. It has been so amazing the love and prayers we have recieved from people and the blessing that come a new everyday. Thank Lord for answering our plea to hold onto us even when we are so tired that we cant hold onto you.

Another blessing is that our trip to Moffitt is only 10 days away and hopefuly that will be the begining of some treatment and moving forward for this family. We are so tired of standing still and allowing this cancer to seemingly overcome us.
Thank you dear friends for holding us up during the last few months we could not have done it without you..
