A Celebration for The Family

We have celebrated all week our GREAT news! We went to dinner Friday night with close friends and talked about the times we've had and times we are going to have, especially fishing between Terry and Mike! Saturday was exhausting after Kristina and I shopped all day(8 hours)with more family! Sunday was a great day with a church service that touched all of us, we had just been talking about our blessings from God and Jerry made it so special. I heard we missed the announcement he made about Terry, we hate we missed it, but Butch said it was very touching and we thank all of our church family for staying with us through this whole thing and the prayers they have sent up for all of us! So many churches have prayed for us and we love you all and thank you for your love and support we have had through our journey with cancer. We all went and ate at Logan's Steakhouse after church and when I say all of us, that is what I mean! Karen, Rick, Tracy, Daniel, Grant, Seth, Sherry, Pete, Logan, Madison, Micheal and us, it made 16 of us! We then went to the nursing home afterwards for a Christmas party and it was great! Complete with carolers! Karen fixed Ruth so pretty as she can do so well and she seemed fine other than they had given her more meds for pain and she was very sleepy. Tara and Morgan joined us there and Ruth was so excited about seeing her great-grandchildren. She seemed to know them more today than on Thanksgiving. Rick is doing so well he has worked two days last week and sounds like he is planning on working this week, but only half days. He sent me an email about little Chloe that just was so sad, sweet and can only imagine how Chris and Danielle will get through this Christmas. Bless them both and the whole family! We all are very grateful you have hung in here with us for so long, almost a year! God is watching over all of us! Hug your loved ones as much as you can, you never know what tomorrow may bring! Love to all! Alyce
