Journal entry by Joyce Craven

 

Date: March 14, 2024

Dear CaringBridge Family,

I am thrilled to share some wonderful news with all of you today! As I sit down to write this journal entry, I can't help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude and joy filling my heart.

First and foremost, I am feeling absolutely great! The past few weeks have been filled with moments of vitality and strength that I hadn't experienced in quite some time. It's amazing how the human spirit can rally, isn't it? Despite the challenges I've faced, I'm continually reminded of the resilience we all possess deep within us.

One of the most exciting updates I have to share is that my hair is beginning to come back! Witnessing those tiny sprouts of growth has been such a surreal and empowering experience. It's a tangible reminder of healing and renewal, a symbol of the journey I've been on and the progress I've made. Each new strand feels like a victory, a testament to the resilience of the human body and spirit.

Of course, along with this incredible news comes the reminder of the importance of regular check-ups. While I am feeling strong and positive, I understand the importance of monitoring my health closely. That's why I continue to schedule check-ups every three months, ensuring that I stay on top of any developments and can address them proactively. It's all part of the journey towards complete wellness, and I'm grateful to have such a dedicated medical team supporting me every step of the way.

As always, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each and every one of you for your unwavering support and prayers. Your love, encouragement, and positivity have been a constant source of strength for me throughout this journey. Please know that your prayers continue to uplift me and carry me forward, even on the toughest days.

As I reflect on how far I've come, I am filled with hope and optimism for the future. Together, we are proving that love, faith, and community can overcome even the greatest of challenges. Thank you for being a part of my journey and for walking alongside me with love and compassion.

With heartfelt appreciation,

Joyce
