We wanted to post this video since we just received it in the mail. About a month or two ago some filmmakers from Doernbecher came and filmed Grace at our house and at the hospital. Although we did not catch it on TV, this was played on one of our local stations as a fundraising event. As we all watched it as a family this evening, Grace broke down from all the memories of her first year of Leukemia. Kim and I, on the other hand, are in awe at where we are today. Looking back to August 13, 2008 we never dreamed we would be almost back to normal. Once again, thank you to all you out there. Our little girl, and our family are deeply grateful for everything.

WOW! Loved it! and tears! lots of them... You guys are amazing! What a year this has been, and I love how positive you are and that you choose to focus on the good. You all are such great examples of hope, love, strength and faith. Grace is truly such a special beautiful little girl and I am so happy they chose to tell her story for the documentary! Thanks for sharing...
No words! (but ill try) This is beautiful, your words, her story, your family, the photos...HER! What a priceless little video to recap the amazing strength you all have at such a terrible time. I am SO glad that they featured your family. This is really a beautiful tribute to Grace's and ALL of your struggles and triumphs.
That is so neat. WOW! I have chills and i'm holding back the tears. Your family is so amazing. You have taught me so much. Thanks for sharing with us.
Wow that just brings tears to my eyes. You guys are such an amazing family and such an example to so many. Gracies strength is just unbelievable. Thank you so much for sharing your journey with so many people. I know you have touched so many lives with it. Mine included.
Thank you so much for posting this Kim! I loved being able to see your BEAUTIFUL family. I miss you guys so much and am so amazed at all you've gone through this past year. I just feel so lucky to know you all! Grace is such an inspiration to my family.
What a remarkable story on your sweet family!! Thank you so much for sharing it with us, it was so inspiring to watch. Kim and JR the reason people have touched your lives and continued to care about your family is because you are both such an example to others. When your lives are full of service and always reaching out to others, your children pick up on the importance of serving. Let people help you because your family deserves it so much--oneday you will be given the opportunity to help another family in your same situation, and they will be so blessed. I am amazed everyday how you have handled Gracie's cancer, and reading this blog makes my day!! As I have observed your family over the past year, I have noticed all of the "glass slipper" moments that have happened, your faith and hope make me want to be a better person. . .
The milestones that you have reached as a family are incredibly inspiring! A year ago we all sat and prayed you would come this far... you and your family are the perfect example of optimism, strength, faith and so much more! I LOVE seeing all of your smiles, and that video brought me smiles and tears. That isn't easy to do ya know. :D I love the video and the recap! Way to go Team Grace!
That is so sweet. Your family is so united that I think it could come through anything smelling sweeter. Your children are beautiful, and you two do a wonderful job teaching them what this earth life is really all about. I am blessed to know you and amazed to call you my friends! Thank you for making me want to be better every day!
They couldn't have picked a lovelier family to spotlight!

I am bawling right now after watching that. It is wonderful to see and yet very hard to watch, a little to close to home. How amazing to have it, it truly puts our fight out there for everyone to be able to relate to and try to see a glimpse of what our children and our families go through. It really is a treasure that Grace will be able to treasure years later and to show everyone what she has survived. I have to admit I am a little jealous, I wish we could have something like that too for Avarie. Maybe we'll have to make one.
Beautiful clip! I am so impressed with how far you have all come. That clip could have been an hour long and still not done your amazing family justice. Your faith and strength are inspiring!
Wow! There are no words. I love all of you! Thanks for your example and for sharing this beautiful clip with all of us. xoxo
What an amazing little girl...what an amazing family!!! I always get the warm fuzzies when I read your posts, look at pictures, etc. What a wonderful clip this is that was able to be shared with SO many. You are truly an inspiration...
That is beautiful. They couldn't have chosen a better family to feature. You are all so courageous and brave. And Grace really is the shining example of her name. And so cute on camera. Autographs please!
WOW!!!! XOXOXOXOXOOXXOXO We don't think we have ever been prouder or had such high respect for a family as we do yours. Wishing you only the best always!!!!
That was amazing--the whole time I was watching (through teary eyes) I kept thinking how you are such a wonderful family with so much to teach and share with everyone. Love you!
you have stood on the top of that mountain and felt: TRIUMPHANT. every day your family inspires me. may your strength continue..along with Gracie's good health.
