Today our family celebrates the birthday of daughter, who is now eleven-years-old. There is much that could be said, and someone is always quipping some bizarre cliché on their child's birthday that they don't truly understand, but today I am very thankful that we have had these wonderful years with her.
It has been nearly seven years since Faith was diagnosed with neuroblastoma age the ripe young age of three. There really isn't a word that works well enough to describe the horror that was felt when the doctor came in to describe what the situation was for our daughter. There is much that could be said, but I'm not looking to stir up sympathy, rather taking a moment to reflect and count the years that God has given us with not only her, but our other children, extended family, and friends.
God knows the days we will all have, be thankful for each of them.
Job 14:5 Since his days are determined, and the number of his months is with you, and you have appointed his limits that he cannot pass,
Coram Deo,

Faith is such a gift! So glad those days are behind her and your family.
