The first anniversary of Katie’s homegoing has passed, and we continue to adjust as a family. As has been said many times, one never “gets over” losing a child – you just learn to incorporate your loss into your life. Thankfully, most of the time we are doing well.
I’ve written an article about our journey through childhood cancer, in the hopes of bringing increased awareness to the need for more potential donors on the bone marrow registry. If you have a chance, please follow the link to the article to read the article “A Journey of Hope” (in two parts).

It was difficult – and at times excruciatingly painful – to relive what we went through. But as our pastor told us one time, when dealing with difficult situations, “Someone must bear the pain.” So, it came down to the question: Are you willing to bear the pain for someone else’s benefit? For me, the answer here was, “Yes.”
If you liked the article, could you please leave a comment below the article. The more comments…the more people will be interested in reading the article…the more people who will get information about registering to be a life-saving bone marrow donor.
Thank you so much!
