Today was a very special day 💜 Brady’s birthday fell directly on Thanksgiving! So we get to celebrate him and also be thankful on the same day!!! 😅 I’m pretty sure I’m very, very grateful most days of my life, if not all of them, but it seems like an extra good day to be thankful for Brady.
I don’t have very many pictures of him without a baby in them. Which is a bummer for the sake of the blog, but is a beautiful problem to have in every other way.
I’m thankful for a lot of things.
I am thankful for my marriage to Brady. I never anticipated what a healthy, loving marriage would feel like, and somehow I always thought it would be so much more difficult. But I am just so very happy with the husband that I chose. It is not work to love him. It is easy, and it makes me happy.
I am thankful for Bradys determination and grit. He does not back down from a challenge, even when he is less physically able than he was a few years back. He is not afraid. He is strongly protected by God.
I am thankful for Bradys amazing job, and how much he loves it.
Working at Zak’s has been a gigantic answer to prayer, and Brady continues to progress and work his way up. He has beautiful work ethic and is actually appreciated and well cared for at his job.
I’m thankful for doctors. Specialists. Surgeons. Radiologists. Oncologists. Pharmacists. Nurses. Techs. Social workers. Therapists. All the health care professionals we’ve come across in the last few years who have carried Bradys health in a way not many can.
I’m thankful for cancer research. MRIs. Technology. Radiation therapy. Chemotherapy. Mobility aids. What an amazing time to be alive, where so much help exists, making Brady’s life easier.
I’m thankful for our people. My mom. Cher. Our Dahlsjos. Our Moodys. Not to mention many teachers from the kids schools who take SUCH intentional care of our kids. Pharmacists from TWO different pharmacies who make house calls. A doctor we can text directly. And a church family who is invested because they love us, not just because they want an inside scoop. We have an AMAZING group of people in our corner, and they have remained strong in our times of further trial, such as Brady’s 36th year of life.
Above all, I am thankful for the knowledge and faith in Gods existence, and how evident it is that He holds Brady, my most precious person, in the palm of His hand. Which is the BEST place he could possibly be! None of these things I have listed above could be here, or be ours, without God.
And for that, I am SO thankful 💜
Onto the next year of life, my man. You certainly have kept them interesting, which is both thrilling and also exhausting 😅 Feel free to sign us up for a boring one for year 37! As boring as it gets, anyway, which isn’t very boring at all, lol!
However it looks, whatever we meet, I am VERY thankful for you, Brady. We’ve known each other for half of our lives, and I wouldn’t trade it at all. Not a single day 💜
Onto the next, expecting the best! 💪 Thank you Lord for Brady!
