Indeed a picture is worth 1000 words...AMAZING! BEAUTIFUL! STRONG! PRECIOUS! to name a few!!!

Just got back in town from Spring Break and had a great time! Thought of you so very often hoping you had a great weekend and visit to the playground...which you quite obviously did! Sorry we were not able to join you that time.

Saw you after dinner at Outback (East Blvd) this evening and Mitch asked when he could play with Grier. Let's try to get that playground visit in when the weather permits. We would love to spend time with you both!! (We obvioulsy frequent the same dining places around town.)

Happy Easter to you and your sweet family!

Tons of love and prayers...
Dina

Wow! I knew that day last March that Grier would be up kicking the soccer ball again. And that picture shows what we all have been praying for! How awesome that he is swinging from the bars at school, chasing the ball, and playing with Hayes and Grace. It must bring you much joy. Hope to see it in person soon. Maybe some more ice cream? The boys loved that.

Amy,
What an exciting message from you. Grier looks great!
And in the middle of it all you took time to think of me. Thank you for the wonderful gift for Teacher Appreciation. Your whole family is so dear.

It was great to hear that Grier was able to play and slide. I will pray that the scans are clear in April.

I hope that all of you have a blessed Easter!!

Love,
Mrs. D.

Those new pics are WONDERFUL! So cute, so strong, so full-of-life, so ready to move on to bigger things! It's so fabulous to see Grier almost a year post-diagnosis climbing monkey bars, swinging, kicking the soccer ball, playing baseball -- all normal 3-year-old stuff after having gone through an unforgettable, unbelievable, unexpected year! Miracles do happen and Easter is the time to reflect on God's miracles which include Grier and your family. I don't know a stronger, more powerful proof of miracles than the pictures of Grier being a kid again!

You and your family continue to be an inspiration to all of us in Bloggerland and Lurkerland! Thank you again and again for sharing your year with us.

Hope the bunny hip hops his way to Jameston and brings all of you wonderful Easter treats!

Continued love and prayers,

Betty G

Dear Amy- The photos of Grier are truly wonderful. During these March days, I find myself very mindful of Grier's one year diagnosis anniversary coming up near the month's end and I just salute you, Grier and your family with the deepest of admiration. You all have endured unforeseeable and unimaginable trials and the journey you continue to walk humbles us all. I look at that photo of Grier happily hanging on those playground bars and for some reason, the voices of Covenant little kids singing (or rather, belting out) the words, "My God is so great so strong and so mighty, there's nothing my God cannot do," come to mind... God's that strong for sure, and the truth is,you Christenburys are pretty darn strong and mighty too!!!
Love to you all this Easter week,
Alex
