When I look back at what we’ve accomplished over the years, and even though at times, there seem to be more bad than good, I’ve come to realize that we have come a long way.    

Unfortunately, we tend to focus only on the bad things and forget to be thankful for the good things that God has given us.  But as long as we have faith, I know we can continue to surpass whatever challenges are placed in our paths.  

I’m going to take this opportunity to thank God for everything He has done for my family and me.  For giving us the power to continue moving forward even when things seem to go so wrong.  But most of all, I’m very thankful for our health.  

This past year, we have lost several friends to cancer.  And last week alone, we’ve come to find out that two good friends have passed due to this horrible disease.      

This is in memory of Darlene (a woman who always put others before herself) and Melanie (who loved her family and had a beautiful voice)… we will miss you.  

May God give your families courage and strength and may you both rest in peace.
