The moment we have waited for has finally arrived. From across the miles we see this shot of Blake, our hero, ringing the bell that declares to a world around him that the battle is over.
It is finished!
A new chapter of life begins today.
The smiles on their faces speak volumes. This war that has been raging within Blake has come to an end. The final round of chemo has been administered and our little hero now walks into his new day. There will be new battles to face...new foes to conquer.
And for today...this feeling of elation is more than enough.
If it were possible for all of the people who have been involved in Blake's journey to gather in this exact place and be together at this exact moment in time...the space could not contain us.
And for today...this precious gathering of friends is more than enough.
If every nurse, every doctor, every technician, every medical team member who played any role in Blake's care in his journey to this moment could have made their presence known in this exact moment...we would be astonished at just how many gave their time, energy, talents and care so that one little boy could have the hope of a healthy tomorrow.
And for today...this cirlce of care is more than enough.
We may never know the name of every researcher wo put in countless hours of study, every donor who provided resources to make the dream a reality, every patient who participated in the countless elective medical studies of Wilm's Tumor cancer care, every expert who defined a diagnosis, or team member who designed a protocol, every individual who held the responsibility to make the impossibly difficult moments bearable, or every unseen Angel that stood watch...and still stands watch today.
And for today...to carry each one in our hearts is more than enough.
Our hearts are full to overflowing at the thought of so many who have given so much to make this exact moment of smiles possible.
And that delcaration of our God is always more than enough.
