A few months
back when we first got the news about George’s cancer we were not sure if
George would be around for Christmas.
The prognosis was so very grim.
Yet, here we
are with Christmas just two days away.
George is alive… not yet kicking, but alive. His stamina is still quite low so he requires
naps after expending small amounts of energy to go shopping or trimming a
tree. But he smiles more, he appreciates
people more – and he is aware that just being alive for Christmas is a
miracle.
Because we
wanted to focus less on the “material” there are few gifts under the tree this
year – and the ones there are mostly for the littlest ones in the family. Christmas is all about the children. And Christmas is all about family. We will have all the “girls” here for a short
while on Christmas as we come together to celebrate. The house will be noisy and rambunctious as
the kids run around.
This will be
the first Christmas of many more to come.
More than we would have expected just a mere few months ago. There are sure to be more changes along the
way as that is the way of life. But
there is hope for our future. God
willing there will be many more “tomorrows” for George, for us, for our
family.
So we wish a
Merry Christmas to all those following our progress. We know how lucky we are to have so much
support from friends, family and even strangers around the globe. No matter where you are we hope you are able
to celebrate the holidays with someone you love. And don’t forget to take a moment to remember
the Saviour who came to earth so long ago that we all might be saved by grace
and have hope for tomorrow because of our faith.
Merry
Christmas – from George & Dawn
