United

It is late, we stayed up to watch the presidential election and here Obama's speech. It almost seemed like a happy ending of a movie.. however you voted, we have to remember, everything happens for a reason and that goes for this situation as well. I wanted to let you all know that Michelle who ran the marathon in my honor finished the marathon and helped raise a great deal of money for colorectal cancer. Thank you Michelle and congratulations for an incredible feat. I hope you aren't too sore and recovering well. You will have to let us know how it went for you! I wish we could have been there to see you pass the finish line. That is just an amazing accomplishment, one I could not achieve.
I am off tomorrow to see Dr. Foster. I am excited to see him, even if he doesn't have the answers I hope for, I know he wants to do whatever he can to help me so I always walk away feeling good and hopeful. There is so much going on with so many other people lately, that I am so thankful for all of you and your prayers but I want to share you all with them and I know that you support them as well. I know some of you are following Stephanie Vest, and I don't know details but it sounds like they are keeping her comfortable and she feels at peace. Please send out prayers to her and her family as well. I will let you all know what Dr. Foster has to say when I get back. I am praying for all of you who are going through a difficult time, as I know many are,but I read something tonight that said, we have two paths, even when there are problems, there are also blessings at the same time and I believe that is sooo true. I have to go to bed, so I will end here. I gotta get up early, and I hate to wake up early. good night all, republican and democrat and all others, I am glad we are called the UNITED states. shawndra
