Thankful

So right after I wrote the last blog I felt I needed to do a "thankful" blog. We have received many blessings throughout this trial. Many that are too personal to share and many that are obvious. I have met countless numbers of people who have touched our lives and I have met a few people who are now counted as lifetime friends. It is amazing how many good people are out there. It is hard sometimes, especially when watching the news, to understand that good people still exist. I am here to testify that they do, indeed, exist, and that a good number of them have blessed my life personally. Friends, family, strangers, acquaintances, nurses, doctors, techs, etc, etc, have come to our aid. Food, gifts, money, love, conversation, company, housework, prayers, fasting and countless other acts of kindness have helped our family through these last three months. It makes me sick to think of the 9 more we have to go but it IS possible with all of you wonderful people. My spirits may be low and my mind exhausted but I can rest easy knowing that I am being taken care of. I love you all and am so thankful to all of you individually for restoring my faith in mankind.
Nate has a good friend in Idaho who does these funny, and clever "freestyle fridays" on Facebook. He starts a rap going on a certain subject and others follow suit. He has gotten pretty popular and now does videos of his lyrics and he did one for Spence. I hope you all enjoy! Thanks Jacobs!

  4. Great rap! It will belong to Spence forever! I must add my testimony to Holly's that the world is still full of truly good people of all walks of life. Our journey with cancer has taught us that and it's been a real blessing to be reminded. The media chooses to focus on the ugly things, but there is always beauty around us if we look for it!

  6. This is Jared. The maker of the song. That idea about a cd to sell for donations is a great idea. Or I could even do an MP3 version of just that song and you could sell it on I-tunes. The only problem is I don't know how to convert it into an MP3. Or get it on I-Tunes. If anybody knows how to do that let me know and I'll gladly do it for Spence.
