This is Love

I stumbled into blogging, and I’ve got a lot to figure out … Today I’m trying something new.

I want to share with you a blog post from one of my favourite singer-songwriters, Steve Bell. I appreciate it: it says some of the things I’ve been thinking lately, and it says them well. Plus it’s got a great song about love which is seasonally appropriate!

“Through the Valley”

… is from Psalm 23, and especially meaningful to me as I go through my ever-changing lung cancer journey. I was diagnosed in December 2013, when my children were 6, 10 and 12. I’m so very thankful to be alive, and doing much better now than I was in early days. We thank God and lung cancer research, and our tremendous support community, including great care at our cancer centre.

These days much of my time is invested  in lung cancer advocacy, which is authentically reflected in this blog.

I began this blog when newly diagnosed and undergoing  chemotherapy. You can read about early days of chemotherapy if you are interested.

I started this blog with hope that it would help communicate with the loads of lovely, supportive people who care so much and gently ask for updates. We are so grateful for the amazing people who are surrounding us, helping us, praying for us, cheering us on and walking with us – whether from near or far.
