The Audacity of Hope



Crystal and I were talking about a lot of things yesterday, but HOPE seems to be very important to her and to all of us. We are all hopeful for a miracle, a great outcome, a long and full future, health and happiness. She wanted to let all of you know that your kind words, help, dinners, and donations of time, money and vacation days are what keep her going strong.

She is just tired right now. Tired of being tired. Tired of medications, and appointments, and all of the things that she has to do to stay focused. It is exhausting. She wants you to know that she is focusing on being with her family now but keep the cards, calls, and prayers coming! She doesn't have the strength for a social life at the moment, but she loves hearing from you!

Here's the good news! She is done with the first round of chemo and the internal radiation!! (Insert Cheer Here!) She has a few more radiation treatments this week and then she can let her body rest for a few weeks.

She looks great, you would never know the battle that she is fighting. But she doesn't feel quite as good as she looks. Hang in there, don't forget her in your thoughts and prayers.
