Our BIG boy! :)
Just celebrated another clear mammogram and the 4th anniversary of the day I heard those words..."we did find just a little bit of breast cancer..."
It's good to remember where we were, and ponder how far we've come. Just because life is feeling pretty normal again doesn't change the truth: that life is tenuous and we are not guaranteed another moment or breath...each one is an amazing gift...we all need to remember that!
What a great gift that comes from such a difficult circumstance...the chance to realize and treasure our time with our loved ones because we see that truth so clearly through someone's illness or death, the chance to not continue on taking for granted these little moments, that precious smile.

Sweet friend, both my heart and soul celebrate with you as you celebrate another clean mammogram and the nearing of your little miracles 4th birthday (how I miss him so) ! My heart aches as I read through your blog, I have been here before but not as nearly impacted as today. To think that I met you at the end of this all and it was so abstract to me at the time. I have to say aloud to myself, Laura had cancer to believe it at all. I wish I had been a better friend during that time. I wish I could have offered you a little more then. Such a strange time for me to imagine you going through, so unfamiliar, yet your words on the pages, so familiar- filled with a marriage of faith and courage so uniquely Laura. I love you friend! You are his beloved.
