Three months ago we were receiving some of the most devastating news of our lives. It is amazing how knowledge and time can make that news easier to bear. Three months ago we didn’t know what to expect, or if we would ever feel like a “normal” family again. There is something about the diagnosis of cancer that forever changes what is normal: We are still the same people, we love the same, however, we might think slightly differently from you. We can’t just go out as a family without thinking about all of the germs we may encounter – we make our outing decisions based on other people’s germs. We go to the doctor weekly with Titus for treatment, part of our new normal. We try to treat him the same as we did before, and what we consider being disobedient before diagnosis is still the same after diagnosis. We try to have fun and play, but I always have my eyes on him making sure he isn’t playing too rough.
We cry more than we used to. The feelings of “why our son” cross my mind, however I know that nothing we did made this happen, we can’t go back and change anything. We have to continue to trust that God is in control and keep moving forward. We have been showered with blessings and know that even through these trials and heartbreaks, we are never alone.
For those reading this, please continue to pray for our son who has a long treatment plan ahead of him. Please pray that we would be wise in our decision making and that God would use Titus’ doctors and medicines to heal him from this scary disease.
