Today we celebrated our anniversary with our friends Harry and Cory. It was another milestone for us. Not only are we grateful to be celebrating another anniversary it was the first time we have been out to dinner since early November before Doug had his stem cell transplant. We have not been able to go out at night because of Doug's evening routines before bedtime and often he gets pretty tired at night. And so going out for dinner was a real treat and having an evening with wonderful friends made it even better.
It seems funny that we are still reaching milestones. But as I think about it there are still many things that are not back to normal or baseline for Doug yet. And so the journey continues. Step by step, day by day, we are grateful for the continued progress. Thank you everyone for your continued encouragement.
And so we pray:
God of Blessing, we are so grateful to celebrate another anniversary. We are grateful for good friends to share life's journey. And we feel so blessed to have the encouragement and support of good friends. Be with us now and strengthen Doug to continue to work hard to walk again. Be with me, and help me to help Doug move through his weariness and fears and help him to envision walking again. We pray that we can do the work needed to be done for Doug to walk again. Amen
