What better news to receive for the new year?
2012 began for us with the best news! John has B cells! AMAZING! Let's put this in perspective, he has NEVER had these before! Our God is powerful! John and I are so incredibly happy.
We counted down the new year with humbling gratitude in our hearts and more than a few tears in my (Amanda) eyes. John is alive and not only is he alive, he is healed. He will be able to live a normal life.
I remember when we were dating I had to come to terms with how sick he was and realize that his life may be short. I remember just crying and crying but always coming back to the same place "I love him, I would rather have a year with him than a lifetime with anyone else". I accepted that I may never grow old with him or raise children with him.
Now all those surrendered hopes are returning. Our hopes for a family and our hopes of growing old together are now a real possibility.
No longer do I have to worry every time he sneezes or feels sick; he will be normal, like you and I - he gets sick and gets better! :)
John came back to work on the 2nd January and we loved it! Our friend Ryan said since John returned I have been "beaming" :)
With this new year and new happy news our hearts are just so in awe of God. It really is all about Him, this healing, our lives, everything. It is all about God. He is the reason we live and breathe and move and we fall more in love with Him everyday.
John Caton is healed...to God be the glory.
