Mark and Sawyer spent the long Columbus Day weekend in the Adirondacks. Sawyer was able to check off two more of the high peaks off his list (there's 46 in all). The weather was perfect: sunny, comfortable temperatures. They both very much enjoyed the time together and recognized how far Sawyer has come -- it was two years ago that he was diagnosed. Year One was a tough day-by-day struggle and Year Two was a rebuilding of the body and mind. We're blessed that he's healthy in all respects and ready for physical and mental challenges.
This Sunday they will again be on the trail, in Wellsville, for the annual Ridgewalk. They've signed up for the 15 mile hike and expect to be slogging through some mud with the predicted rain this week. But they'll enjoy it anyway!
Mark and I celebrate our 21st anniversary today; certainly a day we remember for our wedding so many years ago, but also for the fear two years ago as it was the day we learned something was seriously wrong with Sawyer's health. Not enough parents are as lucky as us to have a positive outcome after such a diagnosis. But with everyone's prayers, love and support, we've made it to today and are filled with joy. We hope you are as well for your own reasons for celebrating life.
