Journal entry by Sarah Bontrager —
Hi Friends and Family- We are celebrating another good check up for Ben and wanted to share some special news. Next month (Mid May) will be his 1 year remission appointment- and we are really looking forward to that day. The rates of return lower significantly after this point. All though that can come with a variety of feelings, we just rest in his progress and thank the Lord for how far he’s come. From there- we can spread out appts to every 3 months. 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Super fun news:
Ben is Golden High School’s MakeAWish kiddo for 2021✨ MakeAWish is an integral part of our story, it gave us SO much hope and joy throughout Ben’s treatment. I wanted to share a few links in case anyone was interested!
For those close by, there are a ton of events over the next week- feel free to stop in and support MakeAWish at one one of them. Here’s the schedule:

We carry this joy and celebration knowing you all got us here. So much be thankful for.
Joshua 1:9 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid. For the the Lord, your God, will be with you wherever you go.
So, as Ben would say, “Let’s goooooo!”
Love from our fam- JSESBI
