Race For The Cure

It is so hard to believe that it has been almost 6 months since Shelly ended her radiation treatments. She has been healing well, and every time she sees one of her doctors, they give her a good report. Yesterday, October 23, I had the honor and privilege of taking part in the Susan G. Komen "Race For The Cure" with Shelly and her sister, Sherry. If you remember, Shelly and her family attended this event last year while she was in the middle of chemotherapy treatments. Last year, she was there as a warrior; this year a survivor. There were many emotional moments along the three mile walk. I can't tell you how many times I thanked God that we were participating in this event in celebration of her life rather than in memory of it. God is so good.
On December 4, Shelly will begin the reconstructive process. It will be a little more involved than she had hoped for. There will be a series of surgeries including hospital stays and drainage tubes - not quite a walk in the park - but for all of us who know her and those of you who have followed her story, we know that because of her faith, she will once again prove that "for with God, nothing is impossible!" As the time gets nearer, I will give more details, but for now, continue to thank our Heavenly Father for all He has done and will do.
