Miracles

This last year has had a roller coaster of events for our good friends/neighbors, the Rorings. It has also been a year of miracles.  Tony was diagnosed with cancer and has been undergoing chemo and treatments since May.  They have been amazingly strong through this whole ordeal.  I can't imagine going through all they have experienced.  We really look up to them.  I have to say that it has been incredible to witness a miracle this Christmas as Tony received a blood transplant from an anonymous donor. There are great people in this world.  The man that donated didn't know Tony at all and went through a painful procedure in order to help save his life.  My heart is so full thinking about what this man did to help another.  We are so grateful. The transplant has gone very well so far and we all have hopes that Tony will get to come home from the hospital on Monday after being there for 5 weeks and a year of treatments. Keep praying for this awesome family.  We love you Tony, Brit and Jack!  Here is more of their story if you are interested:  http://www.roringgoodtimes.blogspot.com/2012/12/transplant-complete.html
