His Daughters' Letters Trusting in the Here & Now | Page 36

I was excited for being on the last lap of this race that started a year ago. On the March 31st, I was admitted to the hospital for the long stem-cell transplant process. For six days the major chemotherapy treatment. On the seventh day they let me rest. This was my body’s Genesis which started on the day after my rest. I was not allowed to go home until the stem-cells kicked in and my immune system strengthened.

With the church bringing meals and loving on my family, made it easier for me to be in the hospital and relax while there.

God knew what I was going to need in a husband when He put Chad and I together. Chad became a single parent of two toddlers, while taking care of a sick spouse. His level head and humble spirit is exactly what I needed. Knowing he was being daddy to the kids and doing his best to let the kids know things were going to be okay, I could rest.

I know this was emotional draining on him. Yet, he was there every step of the way for me. Even when I was in the midst of a chemotherapy treatment and unable to be with the kids doing fun fall fair things, Chad sent me pictures so I wouldn't miss out.
