2 Years

This week is a milestone. Exactly 2 years ago is when Gavin was diagnosed. Exactly 2 years ago our lives were turned upside down. Exactly 2 years ago we were introduced to a strange new world filled with big words, scary words. Exactly 2 years ago, tears flowed freely.

Exactly 2 years ago we were blessed. Not everyone gets to see how he or she impacts others lives. Gavin was blessed to have this happen. We were also blessed with the outpouring of love and support and prayers from a wonderful group of friends and family. In this way we continue to be blessed every day.

2 years ago we could never have imagined the journey we have been on. 2 years ago all we knew is that cancer had entered the scene and there was no delete button. 2 years ago we had no clue as to how encompassing this disease would be, how it would effect everything big and small in our lives.

2 years ago we had hope. 2 years ago we had faith. 2 years ago we focused on the future because the alternative was not an option.

Today we still have hope. Today we still have faith. Today is that future.

We love each and everyone of you and thank you for sharing in our journey.

Maria and Gavin
