Survivor

I am so happy to let you all know that my mom has successfully completed her treatment for breast cancer. For the last 10 months since her diagnosis, she has undergone months of chemotherapy and radiation. During this time, she has remained nothing but positive, shown great strength and leaned on her incredible faith to take her through this challenging time.

Mom, I am so very proud of you for making it through all of this with such a great attitude. Seeing you be so strong helped me as well. And Dad, you have been Mom's rock and have been so supportive through all of this. Your support has amazed me and I am so thankful for the commitment you both have to each other. God has blessed you indeed. I continue to pray for God's healing hand on you Mom and for continued strength as you continue to heal.

As a celebration of completing her treatment, they took a 7 day Caribbean cruise and had a wonderful time! I love you both!

  2. What an incredible journey for your Mom to have emerged healthy, stronger, more faithful, and more beautiful than she started! I admire her so much for her positive attitude during her battle. Of course, with such a loving and supportive family it's no wonder she beat it! And what an awesome way to celebrate with a cruise.

    It has been amazing to watch how God has worked in your Mom's life as well as yours and your entire family throughout this ordeal. It is such a testament to your love and faith. Thanks for sharing this exciting news!
