We've certainly had a lot going on the past few weeks but we are so thankful for our friends and family being so supportive. Now if only we lived closer and could get some of those hugs in real life! We are trusting in the care of the wonderfully gifted and competent doctors who will be taking care of Sim and we see this time as a reminder that no matter how much we like to think we are the ones in control of our lives that God is all knowing and he is truly the one in charge. We are okay with that though. How lucky we are to have a Father who loves us enough to be so involved in our lives.
Now to focus on some good news...today is the 5th Anniversary of Sim graduating Coast Guard boot camp! It's so crazy to think that only five years ago Sim was just starting this journey but at the same time it's crazy to think that it has already been five whole years! We've been so fortunate in our experiences and even though it has certainly not been easy, neither one of us would change a thing. Well...I guess if we could be closer to family, we would change THAT but even the pain of missing our loved ones and being so far away has enabled us to grow together in a way that we might never have been able to otherwise.
Here are just a few photos from his ceremony that I was able to put online:
