We had some dear friends present an opportunity for us to take Dianne to the beach for some relaxation and fun after a year of fighting breast cancer. We stayed from Tuesday through Sunday and had a marvelous time together.
Our 4 year old grandaughter Bella had never been to the beach, and we knew that it would be an eye opener when she walked out on the beach for the first time. It took about 4 1/2 hours to get to N Myrtle Beach and Bella talked the whole way on our drive to the beach. If you asked me what did she talk about, I would say everything that you could imagine that a 4 year old could think about.
We arrived at the condo around 4:00pm on Tuesday and decided to take her immediately to the beach. Dianne held her hand as they walked over the mound of sand and the expression on her face was priceless. Wow! She ran out on the beach and loved the sand, the water, and everything about the beach. Each day we would take her out on the beach around 11:00am and also would take drinks and lunch snacks with us because Bella would stay and play on the beach until 6-7:00pm. Everyday we would go back to the condo and I would play with Bella in the pool for an hour while Dianne showered, and then we would go in and shower and all go get something to eat.
Bella was so excited when her Dad Chad came down later in the week, and everyday they would run on the beach, throw sand on each other, play in the water and it was so obvious that she adores and dearly loves her Dad.
Dianne and I enjoyed our time together at the beach so much and it was such a pleasure to see her enjoy herself for a change. God has been faithful and we thank him so much for the healing that he has performed in Dianne's life, and the Doctors that he allowed to be a part of our lives during these difficult times. We cannot be thankful enough to our friends and family that have supported us in prayer over the past year. We want everyone to continue to pray that God will restore Dianne's body back to her fullness in strength and that she will enjoy the rest of her life cancer free.
God's grace and blessings to each one of you! Bruce
