A Memory in our Book

At Utah State I minored in Parks and Recreation.  If I learned one thing from that it was, "Leave No Trace".  The doctor called and the scans all revealed that my body had indeed and thankfully learned that lesson, the cancer left no trace!!

Feeling so grateful for my Heavenly Father, for granting me my one desire.  To be here longer to help my sweetheart raise these beautiful, energetic children.

Feeling so grateful to live in a day where we have so many wonderful medical advances.  Sometimes I feel like a cat with 9 lives.  So grateful to be alive today.  My sweet Michael came up to me the other day with the biggest hug, "Thanks for living Mom!"

I cannot thank my wonderful family, friends, neighbors and even strangers who have lovingly reached out to support and love our family enough.  It's been amazing.  We have felt surrounded by prayers, and that is a feeling I will truly miss.  It sustained us and gave us peace during a storm.

What do you say to someone who has cancer?  It was so amazing to have people simply ask how we were doing (not just me, but my whole family.  Cancer is a family affair).  I loved receiving simple texts saying we were being thought of or prayed for.  Nothing big, but it was BIG to us.  Thank you for teaching my family how to serve.

Clark came with me


We brought Raspberry Rolls from the Old Grist Mill for the staff at Utah Hematology Oncology





And yes, Clark does look way better in my wig than I do!
