text: I pray every day I can feel the joy God wants for me, despite my circumstances. It’s been a tough year, but we have each other. I’m grateful for God, family, good food and of course, books!
  Goodness, you have a lot going on but you certainly have a clear, godly view of it all. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
  My husband was diagnosed with malignant melanoma in April 2010, so I can truly sympathize with what you went through. By the grace of God, my husband is now cancer-free, but for awhile there it was very touch-and-go. I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas, Christina. God bless.
  Thank you, Stephanie! We’re going the alternative medicine route. And we did have a wonderful Christmas.
