It has been 10 years since the fall of the trade center towers in New York City. I look back over the 10 years and have seen what has changed in my life. I am married and have 3 children. I have completed college and am working for a great company. My family has had a number of challenges, like Sarah's Leukemia. During stake conference today (it was a broadcast from Salt Lake City and Elder Holland and Elder Packer spoke), Elder Holland spoke about the Holy Ghost and how it can give us peace. Even though we might be more aware of some of the terrorism that goes on in the world, we can find comfort and peace in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I am grateful for my testimony of the Savior and how I know that he is involved in our lives. It allows to me to get up with confidence each day and face what ever challenges may come. The knowledge that God has a plan for me and my family has helped me to not mourn for my daughter, but to walk forward with faith.
I was able to take Lilly shopping yesterday for her school supplies and take her to lunch. We had a good time on our "daddy-daughter date." It is crazy that I now have a child in school. Next thing I know, she will be starting college.
We were all able to go to stake conference today. It was nice to not have leave Sarah at home. A number of people were glad to see Sarah. She was excited to see people too. Hopefully her numbers will continue to stay high through the next round of treatment.
I forgot to list her ANC number from Friday. It was 1.4. It was almost normal and means that she has cells to be able to fight off sickness. It means that she can go places too. Jess is talking about going to the Zoo with her tomorrow after Lilly is dropped off at school.
