The day we elected Donald Trump, Jen’s Doctor had called and said that she needed to see a hematologist. Three days later, we heard the word leukemia. Since that day, life has changed.

No more do we have time for ugliness and complaining. When we do, we are missing out on the blessings that surround us. No matter where we fall politically, we live in a great nation. We have friendships. We have the beauty of each day. We have each other.

It took leukemia for Jen and the rest of us to learn that. Maybe all the rest of you can by pass cancer, and take our lesson from our journey.
