I took the picture in this post earlier this week here in
Kentucky, and it seems quite fitting as a new day is dawning for my family. This week, our nineteen year-old son, Bradley, started
his college education at the University of Kentucky. It seemed like this day might never
arrive. We had no idea what we were
heading into six years ago today – August 29, 2009. On a Saturday much like today as we were
rushing Brad to the ER, we did not know that he had leukemia. We just knew something was seriously wrong. After having taken him to the doctor on the
prior Wednesday and even again to immediate care just the night before, I had
been reassured that there was nothing seriously wrong. I didn’t know what was up that next morning six
years ago, but I knew Brad was in big trouble.
