Two Year Anniversary of Transplant

Two years ago today was the stem cell transplant. Little did we know the rocky road that was ahead. But by the grace of God we got through it, and today Doug is well and thriving. His quality of life is excellent and our faith is strong.

We leave the warm weather of Texas next week for our mountain home in Colorado. We have made some good friends during our winter stay but we will be glad to get home. Doug already has an appointment with his oncologist.

I think this photo reflects the man of peace that Doug is.

God allows us to experience the low points of life in order to teach us lessons that we could learn in no other way.                 C.S. Lewis

I have honestly and wholeheartedly just stumbled across your blog using the "Next Blog" thing at the top of the site, and I got interested in this picture of Doug, I think it's because I like beards so much in all fairness!

But then I got reading a little more and I'm honestly happy that he has pulled through. I read through the diary in 2009, and you guys had some tough times, but your strength and determination has shone through.

Jealous that you're living in Texas, to be honest with you though, it's pretty nice most of the time! It's pretty chilly over here in the UK right now.

Take care!
