 This picture sums up our day. Madison had a rough day. As we were dancing to 99.1 (Joy FM), I looked in the window to see this reflection. As we are on this journey separated our hearts are still all together. This picture is not only what is going on around us, but inside of us. Today was the hardest day so far both emotional and physically. It's these days that your faith is truly tested, that your motherly instinct goes into play, and your heart grows and aches. Several times today, I found myself thinking of the ultimate sacrifice. God sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross of our sins. Jesus suffered so we could have eternal life in heaven. The love for a child is beyond words. Thank you God for all you have done for us even on days like today.

Things happen to you to make you realize your true potential, strength, will power, and heart. Have faith and stay strong! Deuteronomy 31:6 - “Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Praying for you family......

You don't know me, but I have seen posts on fb about sweet Madison. 11 years ago, I was diagnosed with AML. I was 43 years old. I had a "good" subtype, so I had only chemo and went into remission. The AML returned 14 months later, and in November 2005, I had a stem cell transplant. My sister was my donor. I was treated at The University of California San Francisco which is near where I live. I am originally from Vandalia. I just wanted you to know that I am praying for Madison and sending positive thoughts her way. As a baby, she has no idea what is going on except that she doesn't feel good. It is scary, so scary, for you I know. I was scared because I knew everything that was going on. Just know that I am almost 10 years post transplant and am considered cured. Madison will be cured as well. I know it. Leave a Reply. |
