....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).

POOR LITTLE DUDE! He's had a rough year. But, I am glad that it is diabetes that he has to deal with over cancer. He is the cutest little guy. Good luck little dude!
I think I'm emotionally stable enough to comment now. Even though I somehow knew this diagnosis was coming, I still can't face the enormity of it. Without you and the rest of our family and Randy's family I don't think I could do this. There is so much comfort in knowing I have such a large support team in my corner. Hank is the most amazing boy and he knows he is loved by everyone in our family. Thanks for everything you do for me and my family sis. I would die without you!
Wank.
I am so sick to hear about your little Hank. He seems like such a strong little champ. I will be thinking of you guys and keeping Annie in my prayers. That's a lot to take in as a mom.
I hope you are doing well! Jack is priceless. Too bad he doesn't like the bath or his cousins. You need to help him become happier...
I MISS YOUR MUG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
