Farewell and New Blog

Dear friends;

Thank you to all of you who have asked about my well being since I stopped posting on this blog. I am doing well. In fact, other than still dealing with some side effects and generally needing to rebuild my strength, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  My doctor assures me that things look good.  I have only 4 more maintenance chemos left so soon will be done with that. I am even tolerating those better. There is talk of removing my port! So I feel like I can get back to living and focusing on other things.

I started this block so that my Mom could stay up with what was happening with me, but Mom has passed to heaven and now is watching over me from a much better vantage point!  Because she is no longer needing to hear my sad stories and because I want to put this chapter of my life behind me,  I am going to cease writing this blog.

However,  the good news is, I am encouraged by many people to continue writing, so I will be launching a new blog not about the trials and tribulations of a cancer survivor, but about where I see God at work in our world. I probably will not write daily entries but will do my best to write frequently. It is called Snapshots and you can find it here if you are interested:

Meanwhile, thank you all so much for hanging in there with me - for all your prayers and support and cards and help.  I could not have survived without you and especially not without the grace of God.  Thank you and God bless you all.

Esther.
