Faith

It all has to do with faith. Obviously the past few weeks were well a bit challenging. But coming out of it I have had such amazing support from close friends and family that I feel so lucky. To each and every one of you, thank you. If I did not express it enough, you are some of the greatest friends and I am luck to know all of you.

This leads me to the second item, the title of this entry, faith. We make thousands of decisions everyday that range from when to wake up to what we are going to eat and with what attitude we are going to face the day with. Will we ever know if those decisions are the right decisions or the wrong ones? Probably not, and if we do it will be for an incredibly small subset of those decisions. So we must have a belief in ourselves that we are making good decisions. If it was not for that belief that we would be rendered into a state a pure inaction, powerless to make any decisions. The remarkable thing is that things seem to work out somehow. Is it the upbringing from our parents helping us make those decisions? Or maybe the influence from our childhood friends? Or a combination of all of our family and friends? Either way something works to help us make these decisions and have faith in ourselves.

On a very positive note, the young man whom I have been talking about for the past few months with Burkitt’s Lymphoma is doing much better, well into the procedure for his bone marrow transplant. His health continues to improve, and although he is in protective isolation he continues to be energetic and upbeat (as any 7 year old should). So we keep praying for his continued health improvement but for now we are thrilled with the progress that he has made.
