Wow. Time seems to really be moving for us. Ethan is half way done with his freshman year in high school, a member of the varsity power lifting team and about to start drivers ed. Things are excellent for him from a heath standpoint and he continues to be a young man that I'm proud to call my son.
We are approaching our dreaded "crap"aversary of our dreaded diagnosis day back in 2005. Cancer has changed us all in many ways and some days I long for the days of my ignorance. We will move forward, watching our Ethan grow, being thankful for each day with him we've been given.
