The Smyders had a great week. Greg recovered well from this last round of chemo and is now back to his wonderul self. It's so great to see him like that. But I have to say, there are times it's bitter-sweet. I see him playing with the boys and running around the house and for a few minutes I forget what we're going through. Then it crashes back in to me again. Don't get me wrong, I know we're going to beat this, but it's a tough journey getting there. I hate to see him sick and down and out.
As a family, we went to the Wylie East Raiders first varisty football game. It was tons of fun. We got to see a lot of our former students, and it was greater because they won. Kyle really enjoyed being outdoors, watching the game, and talking to all of the kids. They were all so sweet to him. I'm sure Blake enjoyed it in his own way, too. Though he slept through most of it.
Saturday night we went to a southern gospel concert at our church. It was so fun, and to be honest, it really ministered to me. There's something about that type of music that really touches my heart.
Overall, things are good right now. We have another full week ahead of us, and unfortunately, Greg is facing another chemo treatment this weekend. On the upside of that, he will have an extra day to recover because we are coming up on Labor Day weekend. Thank God for the small things. :)
I've always appreciated the time I have with my family, but it seems more so now since we don't get to have "nice" weekends all of the time right now. Keep those prayers coming! Three more weeks and Greg will have reached the half way point in his chemo. Here's hoping for tremendous news!
