It’s so easy in life for us to receive blessings, many of them almost uncounted, and have things happen in our lives

that can help change our lives, improve our lives, and bring the Spirit into our lives.

But we sometimes take them for granted.


How grateful we should be for all have been brought into our hearts and souls.


I would remind all of you that if we’re ever going to show gratitude properly to our Heavenly Father, we should do

it

with all of our heart, might, mind, and strength—because it was He who gave us life and breath"

Enemy Territory

Today we find ourselves in enemy territory.......the Bruins had stopped by to deliver an assortment of fan-paraphernalia for the kids to cheer them on during their opening playoff game. We politely accepted their gifts, until we realized who their opponents were: It was our very own Buffalo Sabres. The Sabres will be playing here at TD Garden on Monday and Wednesday. No question as to where our loyalty lies....Go Sabres!

We had an amazing blessing today. We arrived for our Proton treatment at our scheduled time but the normally hectic waiting room was empty. We sign in with our barcode medical card and sit down. Five minutes later, a technician comes in and announces, "the cyclotron is back up, call the urgent patients!". It turns out that the machine had been down all day and the radiation team had called everyone to cancel appointments but they had "forgotten" to call us. Dr Tarbell had expressed that she didn't want Meghan to miss anymore Proton treatments as she had missed too many already. Do you believe in mere coincidences? Neither do we. We know we are being watched over!

  2. Yay for the blessings!

    My brother was shooting a movie in Boston last year, and went to every Boston sport-- including the opening NFL game where they came back to stun the Bills-- boo! Well, anyway, the Sabres won!

    Yesterday I signed Kat up for Battle of the Books and was thinking about Meghan and how I got to drive her home a few times last year. We chatted about books and the excitement (and pros and cons) of returning to school.

    Meggie-- clearly you are missed at school! I hope you will get to come home soon. So heal up, evict the evil tumor and come back to us!

  4. Truely the prayers must be working that Meghan was watched over and able to receive her treatment yesterday. Your all such an inspiration, how you find the strenght day after day is just increadable. I pray everyday that she will be rid of the tumor and retain her short term memory.

    This daily update in the blog is absolutly wonderful. You do such a great job explaining you daily happenings in this journey with Meghan. God bless you all! We are all thinking of you daily here at F-P.
