The Glass is not Half Empty, it's Half Full!

Well it's now official, the treatments are halfway through! I finished my tenth day of chemo last friday. I must say that this session was a lot rougher than the first and made me honestly question if I want to continue. Not, for my sake but for my sweet wife! Shana has been through so much already, I don't want to continue to burden her. She has been the rock that I lean on through all of this. I can honestly say I wouldn't be able to do it without her! She has been there day in and day out and I know she is my greatest blessing ever! I want her to know how much I love her and cherish her. She puts up with me when I'm in foul moods, when I complain about everything and through it all she supports and loves me. So I have to say that while everything might look bleak, or half empty, i feel like it's half full! Our glass has been filling with good news, blessings and love and support! I am so grateful to have so much to be thankful for, I have an amazing wife, and two amazing boys that I spend my time with. That in itself is a blessing. But, I have felt the love and support of my family and friends in a way that I never have before. I have felt strength from all of the support that is given and all of the prayers offered. I am so glad that I have been blessed with such an amazing group of people to call my family and friends. I truly thank all of you, and only hope that in some way I may return the kindness you have shown me. I have a greater appreciation for the Priesthood, since receiving a number of blessings from my Father, Father-in-Law, brother, and brother-in-laws. The power of the priesthood is an amazing gift and i am so glad to have worthy family that honor their priesthood. I am so grateful for my family and for Shana's family. I have never felt closer to my family than at this time. I am so glad for Shana's family, they have welcomed and loved me as their own since I met them and I have so much love in my heart for them! I am so glad that this trial has been placed before us, because in spite of all of the bad things that have happened, the blessings of heaven have been poured out upon us. And I have been able to grow closer and love my wife so much more than I ever imagined. She is my everything! So as I look around, it would be easy to say that my glass is half empty, but I honestly think that it's full!
