This is my lovely cousin David who I cherish deeply. He has always been someone who is easy to love and over time has been the one family member that reminds me most of my brother. Several years back, David went into surgery to have a lump removed because of skin cancer. Once surgery was over, praise God that the cancer was gone but so was his arm, shoulder, and scapula. The doctors had to remove it all in order to give him ‘life’.
This trip was the first time I’ve been able to be face to face with him. I treasured every minute of it! Being able to reconnect was great but he also inspired me in so many ways. His physical challenges have not stopped him one bit! He’s surfing, canoeing, and much more!

Kymberly,
Thank you for sharing your cousins story. What an encouragement to all of us to embrace what is, rather than allow it to defeat us. ;)
