As you can see, Gray was beyond happy to be back home! He was excited to see all his toys and to be in a familiar place. As we sat in bed, though, watching him do karaoke and laugh and smile it struck me that “THIS doesn’t look like Stage 4 cancer…” It’s still hard to comprehend what is going on in little Grayson’s body. It still escapes our minds for brief moments only to come crashing back in a wave. I’m thankful for the light moments but reality is always in the back of your mind. We have days of strength and we have days that we constantly wrestle with questions and worry but we are still fully trusting for a complete healing from God!

“I was told when I was young that one day soon I’m gonna see you. I’d take a train far from this place and all the pain will be over. My God how I long to see you now. And something in my heart tells me somehow…you’re one step away. A distant sound is hard to hear. Even a sound as loud as thunder. A distant heart is full of fear. A distant soul has lost its wonder. Sometimes it’s hard to hear your voice my God. Is the reason that you’re whispering because you’re one step away?” -Jason Upton
