Loving Everyday

These last few months have been definitely a rollercoaster of emotions for my Dad and my whole family. We did not think that he would make it past New Years, at least that is what the doctor had told us back in September. We went to Utah every month, spent many hours visiting, spent the holidays together and many moments making precious memories and spent as much time with my Dad as we could thinking that we only had but just a few moments left with him. I am so happy to report that he is still with us and he is doing great! He had his complete tests last week and the Oncologist was happy to tell him that his cancer has shrunk and he does not need to have any Chemotherapy at this time. We are all so happy! His strength is coming back and he was even able to teach a Gospel Doctrine class which to him meant everything because he has missed being able to teach and serve at church. We feel so blessed to have more time with him here on earth. It has really been a learning experience for me and I have realized that I must always make a great effort to nurture those family relationships because we don't always know when we will lose someone. It is important to live each day to its fullest and to always appreciate all the blessings that we have everyday. I am so thankful for everyday that my Dad is here. It is truly a blessing!!
