Garrett Now Knows

Well, the news is out. At his appointment in Denver this week, Garrett was told that he will have to have another double biopsy in November. It was sooner than I wanted to tell him, but can't be helped now.

He is understandably scared and has had nightmares nearly every night since. During the day, he's a little more detached and askes a lot of questions such as "what if I die" and "How do we know this heart won't quit". All tough questions to find answers for, but we try.

I have told Garrett that God decides when we have completed our work for Him on earth and calls us Home to be with Him. For any of us, that is a question we all have and should always work to prepare ourselves for that day. We need to love and laugh and learn and make sure we take care of other people who have little, just like He taught us to do. If we do our part, I know Jesus will do His part.

Aside from the fears, he does not seem to be showing any outward signs of rejection, still. This is great news that we welcome gladly.

For now, we're trying to keep a positive spin on everything and focus on prayer and trying to live our lives for Christ each day. Our little Warrior is surrounded by a team who refuse to ever accept defeat, claims each day as a victory and ends each night on our knees so we can land on our feet in the morning.

Mommy and Daddy have our own set of fears, but I will not allow "can't", "won't" or "doubt" to enter into the Ross vocabulary. We strive for the heart of a champion....every single day. And each new day is a victorious blessing.

Stay warm, all. Summer's fixin' to quit us.

God Bless,

JD
