We are now in New Hampshire with the family. We have not yet seen Grace nor Jon, except via Skype. They are staying in a hotel near the hospital until Thursday, when she completes her current round of chemotherapy. Grace is being a real trouper, but has been sad today. I don't know how much is due to chemo, but I know she is missing her large family, and lights up whenever she sees them on Skype.
It's been so good to see everyone else, and give and receive plenty of hugs. Our thanks to all of you who prayed for our travels, which went well. (Travelling on New Year's Day morning, while truckers and crazy motorcyclists are mostly still nursing their hangovers, is almost pleasant.)
The main thing now is to keep everyone healthy—which in a very busy, very large household during a New Hampshire winter may be a God-sized miracle in itself.
I know how important the family connection is. The support of just you being there is helping Heather, Jon and the children.
