As we stepped through our holiday traditions, Brad and I were fully cognizant that this could be the last time we did these things together as a family of four. My emails gave no indication of what an excruciatingly difficult time this was for us as Hannah's parents. We were beginning to see daily indications that she was already leaving us, little by little. They were small things ... nothing that a casual observer would see ... nothing we could even specifically identify ... but the signs were there nonetheless. All we could do was savor every moment of our time together as a family, lean in, and trust God for the future.
Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009. My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought … and point listeners to hope in Jesus along the way.
