Thanksgiving last year was so different. We were at home, with our family, but everything with Torie was so unsure. We were preparing to start this journey through transplant, and we were so scared.
This year we have so much to be thankful for. Torie is still with us. She's still fighting, and still so tough. Tom and my Dad and Shaun have held things down while we are here. Lexie is so brave, and she is handling being away from her baby girl as well as she can. My family, especially my Aunts Karen and Collette, and Heather and Erin, have been unbelievably supportive. We have friends that send prayers and good wishes and happy
thoughts daily. I can't imagine how people can go through this without all the support that we are blessed with.
We are thankful for the family that we have here at Ronald McDonald House; and we are fortunate to have our Hurler's family - The Carman's, The Hays', and the Blancheri's, to mention a few. We are grateful for the friends we have made while we've been here.
We wish you all a Thanksgiving as blessed as ours is. Thank you for all you do. And thanks for keeping the prayers and happy thoughts coming for Vic-Torie!
We Love our little miss Mys-Torie!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Gobble Gobble Day!
Holy cow, Torie! Your hair is amazing. I LOVE it. And I'm so glad you are eating some of that pumpkin pie. It seems like there were/are a few to eat.
ReplyDeleteWe are so thankful we are able to follow your journey. Hopefully this time next year you will be celebrating Thanksgiving in Colorado with all these uncertain health concerns behind you. We are praying for this.
Lots of love!
Oh Torie, it looks like you all had a good Thanksgiving. That is really nice! I like the bottom picture the most.
ReplyDeleteGrand Kid, lets work on 'steps forward' o.k.? Let's do more Vic-Torie and not much more of Mis-Torie. I say my prayers every day and I always thank our Father in Heaven for you.
Papa Tom
We love your hair!! It is so beautiful! I am sorry you couldn't be home with your momma on Thanksgiving, but it looks like you had a good day anyway. This year we have lots to be thankful for. We have had our ups and downs and will have many more I am sure. But the Lord has blessed us so much and we are here to have this thanksgiving! We are so thankful for you and your grandma's too! We love you all and are sending our thoughts and prayers!
