Life’s Not Fair…
I know it has been a while between posts. I am so very, very, VERY thankful to say that is because our life has settled down a bit. Even the “big” things that are happening in our life seem trivial compared to the events that started in February. It’s all about perspective and boy has ours changed!
I’m in one of those introspective moods, so bear with me. 
Life is not fair. We have all heard it and know it from experience. Life is just not fair, but is our perspective on this sentiment correct? What is fair? This is a question I have asked myself recently.
Life is NOT fair. With our situation, dealing with Ryan’s cancer, we received a… gift. Our family received an opportunity to learn valuable lessons. We so often did not take time with our children due to other “urgent” but less “important” matters. Anyone hear “Cat’s in the Cradle” playing in the background? We are far from a model family but I can assure you we have been changed. As I said in the first post after finding out that Ryan had cancer, none of us is guaranteed another minute in this world. I understand that more today than ever.
Life is NOT fair. In spite of our difficulties, we are blessed beyond degree. I know it sounds “easy” to say that now compared to where we were only weeks ago. Families crossed our path that had a much different outcome. Life is not fair, we get more time with our son. Why us and not others? How can we help others through what we know is such a difficult situation? Prayer, outreach, fundraisers, volunteer work, all will be a focus for us.
As you can see, life has NOT been fair to us recently.
As for Ryan’s status, he is doing well. His stamina is returning, but he still tires more quickly than he used to. He is excited about playing fall baseball and getting back to school. His hair is growing back too, looks like it will be blond?!? I will post a picture when he gets back from visiting our family in TN (and yes he is being spoiled rotten along with Bryce, Deanna AND Victoria!) A full round of scans are scheduled for early August.
May God bless you this day!

I’m so glad to hear that Ryan is doing well. You will have to join us again for some Southern Miss baseball!
