This is the day the Lord has made!

We will rejoice and be glad in it!

And what a spectacular day it has been! Our day started off at Messiah for church to celebrate the church's 20 year anniversary. Pastor Liebich, who started Messiah 20 years ago was here from Florida to preach in celebration. It was like a family reunion seeing people we haven't seen in a long time. Jeremy's goal all week was to feel good enough to go to church today to hear Pastor Liebich and he did!!! Of course, getting out of church today took a little longer than usual, because many people wanted to talk to Jeremy and see how is doing. He was glad to catch up with some old friends and to meet some "new" friends he didn't know, but knew them by name because they have been praying for him and our whole family.

After church we went to lunch and introduced Jess to the all-you- can- eat buffet at Hometown Buffet. While Jeremy didn't eat as much as usual, he ate enough to be miserable.

Siteman Center had their Garden Party in the Garden of Hope today for survivors and their families. The Garden looked beautiful. Cindy, one of the nurses at Siteman has done amazing things with that garden, she is so talented. Jeremy wasn't up to going and to be honest that was ok, he got to go to church today and he has a full day of treatment tomorrow, so I would rather him be good for that. I did go with Marion, my mother-in-law who is a 25 year cancer survivor. We enjoyed it and met MANY inspirational people who shared their stories of survival. It is so good to know you are never alone on this walk, so many have done it before you, so many will do it after you. We met a woman who is a 38 year cancer survivor and another woman who is a one year survivor, diffrent by their ages and survival years but bonded because of their disease.

We will update tomorrow during his treatment. Until then.
