Reflection

My birthday last year


The next few weeks will be filled with reflection. Reflection of this time last year spent in a hospital reeling from the news of Riley's brain tumor diagnosis. I of course look back on those 17 days with immense gratitude that Riley is now healthy and thriving. Her tumor is stable. Yet, whenever I think about that time, I cry. Re-living those weeks are hard.
I tell her story with great joy because those weeks, while they were filled with grief, were also filled with incredible joy. We were loved on, prayed for, provided with meals, monetary gifts, but most importantly - time with true friends and community for whom we will be forever in awe of.
As I look back at our blog posts, I can see Jesus. His face is so clear. His constant presence and our ability to cling to Him and know with certainty that He was right beside our sweet Riley was what kept us going.
Thank you again to all those that followed our journey and continue to follow her updates today. We appreciate each one of you!

Cheers to a better birthday this year and a healthy Riley!
