Where Have I Been? Can I Begin Anew?

As this year comes closer to the end, I finally find myself returning to some normalcy in life!  What I can say is...God is Good!-
I started the year out very positively and was soon greeted with the unexpectedness of life!  My family has been on a roller coaster ride since last August, but can say now that we have been blessed numerously and unexpectedly.  My husband had a scare with cancer back in September, and as you can imagine with a small six month old son, we started to fear the worse.  He went in for surgery to remove a growth on his parathyroid and came out with half of his thyroid!- They had located a tumor on his thyroid and during surgery removed half of his thyroid as well!  However, we were blessed by the grace of God, and it was benign, no cancer.  We received overwhelming support from our family, friends, and co-workers.  As the days went by we watched our son grow, enjoyed watching him reach milestones.  Our son, by far, in all, has been our greatest blessing!  Then the week before Christmas we discovered that my husband had another growth, this time in his kidney. This time it was cancer. He had a large tumor in his right kidney. They were able to successfully remove his entire kidney, with no signs of cancer elsewhere.  Again, by the grace of God, we received the best news.  Six weeks after surgery, we celebrated my son's 1st birthday, and could not be more grateful!  Through it all, we have had enumerous prayers offered, support again from family, friends, and co-workers, and just plain love from everyone!-  We are finally regaining some "normalcy" in our lives and look forward to every day together!

Through prayer and faith, I find myself  here in this blog again.  I have changed the name and hope to "begin" anew!- Thank you to all of you!
