....This trio of besties...
has been down to two this week. ....
./
ddds... ..We got a bit of unexpected news this week when our sweet Hank was diagnosed with
He has been at Primary Children's for the past few days.
And we've all missed him tremendously.
...
It seems all too recent that Hank had to endure his scare with the possibility of Leukemia.
You sure can't always plan for life-- a harsh reality we are coming to recognize more and more with each unexpected bump in the road.
It's amazing, however, the lessons you learn in a really short amount of time in the midst of adversity.
Hank is already teaching us all about stepping up and making the best of less than ideal circumstances. I've witnessed his progress as he's taken this thing head on- not complaining- never feeling sorry for himself.
Lesson learned.
...
I'm a really big control freak (really big). And when things like this come up, I'm reminded in the most real way- that I can't control everything.
However, there's an amazing comfort that I gain from the fact that when these things happen, I am once again reminded of the utterly amazing and indestructible family that I belong to....
............
I know Hank is going to be more than fine.
He will continue being the best at everything he does.
And he will continue to teach and inspire all of us.
As will his amazing mama, and the whole little Griffin family.
.......
I'm truly starting to believe that maybe what seems to not be according to plan really is part of a plan all along.
...
Here's to moving forward, Hank man...
And getting you back with these little yay-hoos!...
They have soooo missed you!
(Jack works really hard to pretend they're all brothers).
