Hey there!! Just finishing up my second round of Chemo and it stinks! I keep telling myself that every ugly day of chemo makes me one day closer to being able to say those great words "cancer free!" Chemo is probably the most challenging part of this "journey" I'm on. This Thanksgiving, I'm sure my appetite won't be quite the same as in years past, but as I've laid around feeling sorry for myself all week, I've realized all the many things I have to be thankful for this year and I wanted to share with you. For one I've realized every day that I spend with "my boys"(mike and luke)is truly a gift. Hearing them giggle and laugh brings me such awesome joy. I also find so many "thanks" when I look around the room and see the huge stack of cards, the beautiful flowers, a refrigerator full of food, and just being in my home. We are so thankful for our family and friends in which we've really had to rely on these days. Having to be so dependent on everyone else is definitely a struggle for me. I've often taken for granted the amazing success of my surgeries. I'm especially thankful for God's loving arms holding me tight along the way.I wish everyone an awesome Thanksgiving this year. All of you that read this, and post comments or send cards or keep me in your prayers, you are blessings in our life!! You are also a big reason that I have reason to give "Thanks" this year!!HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!
LOVE, Jessie and the boys!

This message is very overdue, but I wanted you to know that a day doesn't go by without me thinking and praying for you. I constantly get updates from Janel and am usually encouraged at how strong you are. I will continue to pray for strength each day and that one day soon you will be making others beautiful again in your chair at work:). Missy
