New Ta Ta’s!

Tomorrow is the big day! Tisha gets her new ta ta’s tomorrow morning! It is a fairly simple outpatient surgery and she will be back home tomorrow evening. Mark’s birthday is Tuesday, so I guess that is about the best birthday gift a guy can get!

We are so thankful to be at the final stages of reconstruction. A year ago when we knew it was stage four cancer, we weren’t sure we would make it to this point or if Metisha would be completely healed. But here we are completely healed. And we praise God for the miracle he has performed.

So for our family, life is moving on from cancer but we are forever changed. Changed for the better. We are stronger. We are more hopeful. We have a stronger faith. We have a stronger family. We have a tested faith and belief in God’s healing, protection and grace. We know that God is more powerful than anything Satan can throw at us. We have learned that love is the most important gift we have received and the most important gift we can give. Love can hurt. Love can disappoint. Love can be the most difficult thing in this world to give away. But love lifts us up. Love heals brokenness. Love forgives. Love supports and sustains us. Don’t be afraid to show love. We are called to love.

This has been another tough week for our family. We lost another Welsh warrior, Uncle Dennis, and we lost him too soon and unexpectedly. We wish we had an opportunity to show him love one more time. But in our hurt, we love those who were left behind. Ewbank family, we are called to surround, to support and to love just as we have done for Metisha for the last year.

So continue to pray with us. Pray for a quick and easy recovery for Metisha. Continue to pray for Metisha’s friend Jeff who is fighting a very though cancer battle. Pray for our Ewbank family. Pray for God to show you who needs your love.


“But for right now, until the completeness, we have three things to do to lead us toward that consummation: Trust steadily in God, hope unswervingly, love extravagantly. And the best of the three is love. “
1 Corinthians 13:13, The Message
