Marina has one more gate to pass before starting her recovery from Hodgkin's. No Dad wants to watch one of his Little Ones go through anything like chemotherapy but I can't tell you how amazed I am at how Marina has wielded her sword with courage, strength and even humor. I would like to think that I could face her challenges with half her vigor and faith and charm. I can't wait to see her again along with her wonderful sisters at Christmas!

Marina and Kent will continue to face challenges while Marina regains her health and strength. They will continue to need your help and prayers. We have been amazed by how much love has been graciously shared by everyone with Marina and our whole family. We love you all!

Marina so rocks!
