October 22nd was always a day to look forward to in our home. It was a joyful mile marker, a date to celebrate another year of our precious girl's life.
October 22, 2008, was a little different. Hannah's 17th birthday came around just three weeks after we found out that her cancer had returned with a vengeance. Three weeks after her doctor, with tears in his eyes, told us that she had less than a five percent chance of survival. And three days after she lost every strand of her beautiful, thick, curly hair.
How do you celebrate your child's birthday, knowing that unless God does a miracle, it will be her last? Of course, we knew that God could heal her at any time, but we also knew that in His omniscience, He may choose not to.
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.
