4 years cancer free!

This day 4 years ago was one of many on my emotional roller coaster.  The day started off with a hymn at a school mass which I'll share with you.  Put this into perspective.  After mass I'm heading off to have my very last radiotherapy session after a grueling almost 10 months of treatment.  As you can imagine there were floods of tears!!  It gets me every time I sing or hear it. 

The greatest day in history
Death is beaten, You have rescued me
Sing it out, Jesus is alive

The empty cross, the empty grave
Life eternal, You have won the day
Shout it out, Jesus is alive
He's alive

Oh, happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh, happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed

When I stand in that place
Free at last, meeting face to face
I am yours, Jesus, You are mine

Endless joy, perfect peace
Earthly pain finally will cease
Celebrate, Jesus is alive
He's alive

Oh, happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh, happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed

Oh, what a glorious day
What a glorious way
That You have saved me
Oh, what a glorious day
What a glorious name

Oh, happy day, happy day
You washed my sin away
Oh, happy day, happy day
I'll never be the same
Forever I am changed

Today I sit here, 4 years on, relatively fit and healthy.  I walked to and from work.  The sun came out on the way home. I then spent 3 hours at the Centre for a volunteers meeting. I have a job that is rewarding, I do a bit of voluntary work where I can which makes having had cancer worth something.  I have 2 beautiful children, wonderful family and friends, and a husband that isn't too bad either!

Today is definitely a happy day, and things have changed dramatically in my life, but I wouldn't change them.  I am forever changed.
