Life keeps on moving...
Writing here on a Saturday night, I'm missing my oldest, Caleb, and hoping that he has had a good time at camp this week. That sounds strange to me, to say that I'm missing my 11 year old son, but it's true. Both boys are somewhat older than their years, probably more so for Ian, but it's also true of Caleb. And as Caleb has been away for the week, it makes me very aware that even in the best of situations, we only have our kids for a short time. We love them, disciple them, play with them, laugh with them, worry about them, but they are only our "kids" for a while, and then they are on their own. So we try to live life, here, now, in full color, in full energy and in the full grace of God
May God bless parents, and give them the love they need to share their life with their kids, and the ability to savor the moments when they can, knowing that life will keep walking on.
The last PET/CT scans we had for Ian were clear. We praise God, and are incredibly thankful for that, and all the normal summer days we get to spend together right now. We will then miss him when he goes off to camp in a couple weeks. Take care folks.

Just catching up on your blog - so excited to hear Ian's PET/CT scan was clear!! I hope that both of the kids have fun at camp - OKIZU sounds like such an amazing organization. Your family is an inspiration and we praise God for you!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Christie, you and Ryan have blessed us as a family, and Ian in particular. Okizu is a great place, and even Caleb had a really good time.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear about Ian. Please know that we are continuing to lift you guys up in prayer. We miss you so much (coming to NC soon?). Please give Kathy and the boys a hug for us.
