20 years ago today these young faces said "I do"! It was one of the happiest days of our lives.

Life at the moment is about the both/and. Knowing deep joy alongside the tears. I can’t help but think that we need to experience both because that’s when the healing will come.

In many ways as a family we’re sitting in the ruins. If we took our eyes off Jesus for long enough we would be overwhelmed by all that has been stolen from us and overtaken by hopelessness.

In some ways it’s daunting to find ourselves in the middle of lockdown as we enter Lent again not knowing what the months ahead hold, but the same God who was with us during the difficulties of Lent 2020 (and the months following Easter) is with us now still moving, still speaking, still working things for good.

In so many ways cancer has formed us, stretched us, shaped us and made us the people we are today. It’s part of our story worth telling.
