Crossing Bridges *PET Scan Update*

 

This bridge is significant. It is called Fallasburg Bridge and it is in Michigan. Paul proposed to me there and though I was so shocked and kept him waiting a few minutes on my answer, one of the sweetest parts I remember was him drawing the parallel of our life together being like a series of bridges that we will cross. 

We will have been married for twenty years in 2024 and true to form we have crossed many bridges together.

Some were easy...

Some were majestic but felt uncomfortable to traverse. We could tell we were traveling on a new road heading to a new destination and while it was exciting, the unknown always was a bit unsettling at first. 

Other bridges have been a bit questionable, and we stumbled, hesitated, and eventually just held hands and our breath, prayed, and went across anyway... 

This cancer has been a bridge too and today we traversed a bit more of it...together. 

My PET scan results show:

 No evidence of disease and no evidence of metastasis!!! YES!!! Praise GOD!!!

We realize that this is the first scan of many for my journey back to complete healing and wellness but today we are just appreciating the blessings and provision.  Also, my time in the calm/quiet room before the scan was a time of blessing. I felt complete PEACE and for that I am grateful. 

Here is something that I am learning each step that I am walking...that Paul and I areas we are walking together. I hope the visual of it blesses someone today...

From our first day and that very first bridge which we traversed hand in hand down to altar to make our vows...

To the current bridge of this cancer journey as we walk into hard appointments hand in hand. 

  

The bridges that we have encountered and crossed... 

however scary they were, 

                however unsteady they seemed, 

                                however life changing and different they were....

were always ....

in HIS hands the entire time...and so, my friend, are yours.
