Being Thankful

Every year it is easy to find things to be thankful for, but this year Trish beating cancer tops the list. Two weeks after her last chemo, she insisted on hosting all of us for Thanksgiving, complete with a 27 pound turkey! The meal was delicious, and we basked in God's many blessings on our family.

Celebrating Life

Early in November, friends of my sister Trish hosted a benefit in her honor. She was diagnosed with breast cancer this past summer and had already undergone radical surgery and four rounds of chemo.

What an amazing event it turned out to be! Hundreds of people from the past and present turned out to offer their support. Together we celebrated the life of an amazing woman and all that she is to the people around her. And if it is something my family knows how to do, it is certainly celebrate!

What fun!
