At this point in Hannah’s cancer journey, we entered an idyllic period.

Hannah was a very private person, and always shunned the spotlight. At first, she didn't even want anyone to know that she had cancer, but understood that people needed to know so they could pray for her.

Early on after Hannah went to Heaven, I often heard other parents who had lost children talk about how much they worried about people forgetting about their children. And I remember thinking to myself that I would never be that way ... I certainly didn't want people to forget about Hannah, but for me personally, that was not a huge concern. I knew …

Growing up with two brothers, I always I assumed I'd be a "boy mom". Ultrasounds were not nearly as detailed back in 1991 as they are today, so it was a surprise when the doctor exclaimed, "It's a girl!" ... and then another surprise 3 1/2 years later when Bethany was born. What a joy being a "girl mom" has turned out to be! Thank you for joining m…
