Reasons To Celebrate

As I sit here tonight reflecting back on yesterday's news, I am finding it difficult to articulate the emotions felt not only by myself, but everyone following Nonnie's journey. This news could not have come at a better time in our family's lives! Yesterday was a cause for a triple celebration. Brennen graduated from the 8th grade, Shannon turned 30+10, and to top it all off......Nonnie learned that she is in remission. 

Within minutes, the news spread like wildfire. There were countless phone calls and e-mails made across the United States to share the good news. If only we could have reclaimed all of the tears of joy throughout the day, I believe that the water crisis in California would have come to an end! 

Nonnie and Papa are going to visit the doctor first thing in the morning. We anticipate learning what the next steps are going to be over the next weeks and months to come. Thank you for all of your continued support and prayers.

  1. Congrats Brennen! Don't worry Shannon....life is worth it as you slide down 'over the hill'!

    At Jeff and Lisa's tonite for a visit, Sydnee wrapped her arms around me and said, "Did you hear the good news!?" The smile on her face could have lit up the Western Hemisphere on a moonless night! We talked about Kylie's whole school prayed for Nonnie; I told her I read on the blog that Cade and Shelby's school also prayed. She said, "no wonder she got better". We can't forget that as many families go through this same experience, it's so critical to share our belief in God and especially about the power of prayer with our children. At times like this, they witness first-hand that God does answer prayers!
    We look forward to hearing what your doctor says tomorrow at the clinic.
    Love, Kathi xoxoxo
