Happy Father's Day
(post from last year)
Where do I start…I love you more than ever. We are so blessed and I am so thankful you
are here with us. It makes me cry to
think that you might not have been here. Writing this makes me cry. Even though we're in the recovery stage this cancer journey has taught me a lot about
love. Laughing more. Crying more. Holding each other more. Loving on others more. Taking the time for us more. Giggling over simple moments and teasing
about serious things in a light hearted kind of way. If you know Dave he has a sense of humor. I do not. Some of our kiddos have the same sense of humor. Some moments have been
stumbling to get through(medical bills) but the grace of laughter and love always get us
through. I can see how cancer can
destroy a family. That is why the time
we spend now- our healthy efforts in love- MATTER. The investment in love we make
today matters in all of our tomorrow’s. Suffering came. Our love story was prepared to face it. This cancer
drew our hearts nearer to one another and Jesus.
Thank you for
loving our kids in all their strange demands. Thank you for lying with them at
night and tucking them in. Thank you for patiently teaching them. Thank you
for constantly filling my empty gas tanks. Thank you for protecting us. You are always so
brave and strong. Thank you for being
compassionate and courageous in so many ways. Thank you for finding joy in the
simple things. We love you. Thank you
for loving our kids with kindness when you don’t feel kind. Joy always returned quickly on your hard days. God’s grace and forgiveness is so good.You are a gift to my heart.
I love you!
