Update from Long Beach

Passing along an update from the Jensen Clan in Long Beach.

 

------------------------------------


Greetings from Lakewood, California, where the weathers hot, the kids are back in school (and happily so), and the city of lights looms in our future. Amy and I are leaving for Paris on Saturday yep, the passport arrived and we couldn’t be more excited. Please pray for our safety as we travel, and please pray that our kids will have a safe and sane time at home with Nana J (Jeff’s Mom), who has flown down to take care of the kids, for which we are very, very grateful. Which reminds me: please pray for Nana J's safety and sanity, as well!

On the cancer front: No updates since our last very positive report, except to say that the positivity has only increased. Amy’s hair is growing back; a very cute short hairstyle is emerging. Her spirits remain bright and strong the best they’ve been since this all went down back in January. (Has it really been the long/not long? My sense of time is all warped.) We are grateful for this season of optimism and restoration of strength. Of course, the cancer journey is still ongoing. The only way we will ever know for sure that Amy will be cancer/tumor-free is if she never gets another tumor again. We are thankful for the good health we have today, and we pray for good health tomorrow. And so it goes

But cancer, shmancer we’re going to Paris! We can’t wait to experience it this is our first real vacation we’ve taken alone since the kids were born--and we look forward to sharing some of our adventures with you when we get back. We are thankful for your continued love and support, which in various ways have helped make this long-held dream of a Paris trip come true. Thank you, and God bless you all.

Love, Jeff and Amy
