Our Year In Review. Looking Back At 2014.

2014 has been an incredible year for the Glenz Family. We've witnessed the power of prayer and Dad's unbelievable determination to BTHO Brain Cancer, and we welcomed a little boy to our family- Luke James Lechler. Let's start with our new little one, which means a new title for me- AUNT! Luke James Lechler was due on 1/10/2015, although he didn't want any of us to wait to meet him, so on 12/22/2014, we received a wonderful early Christmas gift. Our hearts are so full for this little boy! He was 5 lbs, 12 ounces and 19 1/2 inches long- perfect! Mom, Dad and baby are all home and doing great! And Dad. I can't even begin to describe all of the emotions we've experienced this past year. We've had days filled with laughter and praise, and also days filled with sadness and fear. Our journey has been so far from easy, although the ride has been pretty darn incredible. As 2014 turned out to be one of the most difficult years for myself and my family, I can't hel...

1 Year Anniversary: 10/5/2014

"I survived because the fire inside me burned brighter than the fire around me." Survival. 1 year after Dad's diagnosis and we've survived! We've not allowed Cancer, that "fire" around us, to burn any brighter than our fight within us.  Our "fire", our desire to beat this beast called cancer, is so much stronger than the fear that is that terrible 6 letter word, so much stronger than the side effects of the treatment, and so much stronger because of our faith.  Regardless if someone was diagnosed with cancer just yesterday, 3 months ago, or has been in remission for years, I think that 6 letter word all gives us that gut wrenching feeling. That feeling of defeat, despair, and fear. But what I like to remind myself about that 6 letter word, that 6 letter word brings us all closer together. How wonderful is it knowing that you're not alone in a fight against cancer, you're not alone in a battle for your life, that your fire inside will bu...

Run For The Rose & Dad Update 2/27/2018

So here we are, already heading into March and I've been terrible about keeping everyone updated on this little blog. But y'all, no news is good news! Dad continues to do well- he's exercising daily, continues to feel well, and just enjoying life. Our next MRI is at the end of March, and we continue to pray that all looks good and Dad can continue on without any treatment! April 5 will mark 4.5 years since Dad's seizure. It's amazing to think how far we've come in 4.5 years- it's also pretty amazing to see God's hand in it all, as we were told Dad had just 14 months to live.  4.5 years seems pretty incredible.  But it hasn't been all rainbows and butterflies- in fact we've struggled these last 4.5 years. We've struggled in finding hope in our situation, we struggled in finding faith in our situation, we struggled in just figuring out the world of cancer.  Bottom line- we struggled.  But through this devastating disease, we found we struggled ...
