Wednesday, September 7th

A huge milestone happened last evening that marks the end of an incredible journey.  Sam Cook, Michellie's boyfriend since last December, has been a driving force behind Michellie's healing and spirits through her entire cancer journey.  They ended their relationship last night after a summer away from each other, and a long distance challenge for visiting.  Sam was with Michellie through the surgery, the hair loss, the weakness, the sickness and the recuperation.  He was so calm and patient.  He pushed to get her outdoors more and to hike and camp.  We enjoyed his visits here and Michellie had enjoyed her visits to his home as well.  We are very grateful for all of the support and love that Sam shared with Michellie through her cancer recovery and we wish him the best as he finishes his last year of high school.
