Journal entry by Jessica Eben —
One year ago today our world was shattered. Our little redhead started her battle against Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. We had no idea how difficult it would be. When Dr. Van Doorninck came into our room after we checked into Rocky Mountain Hospital for Children, he told us that Norah would battle it out over 26 months. I started wailing. I didn’t think we would make it even one month. People, God is so good. A friend asked if I ever skip this past year if I could. To skip it would have saved us so many tears and grief, but to go through it has shown Norah just how much He cares for her and hears her prayers. Norah knows that God has a perfect purpose for her and she will forever get to hold onto His promises that He’s not done with her yet. Way to go, Nors. You blow my mind.
