I have lots of new material to blog about, and a couple of posts that are rattling around in my brain driving me crazy. None of that matters today, because today my friend April DeLoach got the news she has been waiting for. Not just any news, but THE news. Her leukemia is in remission! Her bone marrow biopsy showed NO cancer cells, and no evidence of recurrence. Her blood cell counts are continuing to rise.
With the help of her donor, amazing oncologist, and fabulous nurses, she is getting to spend the holidays at home with her children, without the word leukemia hanging over her head. Literally thousands of prayers have gone up for this woman. Several hundred of them were mine. Through her beautiful, eloquent essays, she has shared her journey with the world. That journey had special significance for me, because it allowed me to access the thoughts that must have been going through my own mother's mind during her battle with cancer.
So today's post isn't filled with silly stories or witty observations. It's filled with praises for the one who is the reason for the season. April's life has been spared, her body rid of the monster we call cancer. If that isn't a Christmas miracle, I don't know what is.
Hello great blog! Does running a blog like this take a massive amount work?
ReplyDeleteI have very little expertise in coding however I had been hoping
to start my own blog in the near future.
Anyhow, if you have any ideas or tips for new blog owners please share.
I know this is off subject but I simply needed to ask.
Many thanks!
