Wow! What a year! It is amazing to me that this year has flown by and we are in 2009. The are moments when it feels as if time has completely stopped and others when I can't believe we've been living in Memphis for 8 months.
Our family just wanted to say thank you to everyone who helped to make our Christmas special this year, despite the fact that we spent it in the hospital. It really wasn't that bad, we were together and that is all that matters. Christian and Elijah thought it was fun to sleep at the hospital. Christian keeps talking about it and wants to sleep at "the hotel" again. :) We are so blessed to have so many wonderful friends and family who support us. You have all made Tyler's situation easier to bear. Thank you for coming alongside us, loving us, caring for us and praying for us. We have so much to be thankful for, but most importantly is, TYLER IS ALIVE, he is going to make it through all of this. We firmly believe God has a plan for all of our lives and he will use Tyler to do magnificent things for his kingdom.
Roman 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
I have twice now, met complete strangers while out and about, who have heard of Tyler and how God has continually had his hand upon us and they were impressed by God's goodness. I will never know or understand the scope of God's plan, but He does, He sees the whole picture and I know in my heart it is all for a greater good.
Tyler is taking a short and much needed break from his chemotherapy. His spirits are high, he is smiling again, laughing again and we are enjoying being home together as a family. This is going to be a great year. This is the year Tyler is going to be officially announced as "cured of cancer".
We love you all so very much,
Charles, Sarah, Tyler, Elijah & Christian
