Yesterday was the one year anniversary of Kyle's journey with cancer. My DH posted this and sent it to me to share with all of you. She, and the rest of our family, wanted thank all of you for your continued support of us during this time.
It was one year ago today that I took Kyle to a doctor’s appointment to check on some “firmness” on one side of his abdomen. One year ago that he had an initial exam, Kyle had an ultra sound, we drove to the children’s hospital where he received another ultrasound and chest Xray, blood work was done, and we were told he had a 9cm x 9cm x 11cm mass originating from his left kidney... all within 4 hours. One year ago when I learned which floor of the children’s hospital was the oncology floor. One year ago that I heard the term “Wilm’s Tumor” for the first time. One year ago that our life changed.
In the past year…
I have never hurt so deeply.
I have never been so humbled.
I have never prayed more earnestly.
I have never loved my family more fiercely.
I have never felt more loved from family and friends.
I have never been more overwhelmed by the kindness of complete strangers.
I have never shed so many tears.
And…
I have never felt God’s love more strongly.
Today we remember. Today we reflect. Today we celebrate healing. Today we celebrate life.
That was wonderful. I always like to say, that Heavenly Father is awesome, and that prayer is powerful!! So, so happy for your son, and for your family.
