there's no "i" in cancer.

things change when you have to say "i have cancer".  in an instant. 

on july 16th, 2012 at 5:36(ish)pm, our world turned upside down.  my Love and i heard the words.  "You have cancer."  and after hearing it, we had to come home and tell our then 6 year old Little Dude that everything was about to change.  he had no idea what was coming.  and how could we explain it when we really didn't know either?  looking back on it, i really just have to shake my head and chuckle a little.  yes, chuckle.  we really had NO CLUE what we were in for. 

but here on the other side of things, i realize this...we were in for a whole freakin' lot of LOVE.  and support.  and generosity.  and selflessness.  and faithfulness.  and just...GOOD.  as i sit here and think about it, i'm overwhelmed.  and crying, of course.  'cause that's what i do.  

what would i have done without my God?  my guys?  my family?  my friends?  my church?  my Judson girls?  heck, even strangers!  once again i find myself saying THANK YOU.  it doesn't seem big enough but that's what i've got.  y'all are amazing.  seriously.

turns out there's no "i" in cancer.  there's a big, fat WE.
