In 2007, my daughter's husband was diagnosed with cancer.
The cancer was contained and removed,
but another rather invasive surgery was necessary
to prevent the spread of cancer to his lymphatic system.
During this time, my son and his wife were getting married.
What was the most joyous time for my son
was one of the most difficult for my daughter.
While celebrating with one child,
I was grieving with another.
To say I was conflicted is an understatement.
I don't have time to take you through every emotion,
because there were too many to count,
Marriage...cancer
Pregnancy...miscarriage
New birth...failed IUI
For every moment of joy
there was a moment of pain.
Nevertheless, we celebrated and grieved,
that is life.
We celebrated NEW Life.
Our Connor Man in 2010
Our Cora bug in 2014
Another promise-fulfilled,
Harper in 2014.
We grieved our losses.

Roses Will Bloom Again.
We look forward to a new year of PROMISE
and Possibility.

I am a promise,
I am a possibility.
I am a promise,
With a Capital "P"
I can be anything,
Anything God wants me to be.
Yes, I believe in Promise and Possibility.
:) Such an amazing answer to prayer!
ReplyDeleteHappy New year to you and your family. Cancer is such a deadly disease. I do understand because I have fought it three times now. Blessings to you and your dear family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful way to explain your life emotions-joy and pain. Our daughter had a miscarriage, followed by a pregnancy induced cancer. She had to wait a whole year (with cancer treatments) before she could even think about having a baby. The long wait ended with a beautiful little boy. Now she is expecting a little girl any day now. Life sometimes hurts, but joy always heals. Your grandchildren look precious!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd so true.
Love and hugs my friend...
Beautiful! Happy New Year to you as well. Blessings

Precious babies! God is with us every step, isn't he? We must believe even when we don't feel it....because it's the Truth!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these precious pictures.
So many emotions and a beautiful way of expressing them. Blessings to you and your family in the new year ahead.
ReplyDeleteI hope that next year will bring you more ups than downs. I guess that's all we can ever hope for. The important thing throughout it all is the support you get from family and the hope you have in prayer. Hope you had a great Christmas this year.
ReplyDeleteI hope that 2015 will be a wonderful year for all of your family. xx
