Sam and Abby's Wedding!

Dave and I had the honor of attending a very special wedding this weekend. Sam's family attends our church and we have really enjoyed getting to know this very sweet family. Our relationship grew even stronger with the Haygoods when Sam was diagnosed with cancer in May of 2007. Sam was treated at Egleston in Atlanta where I work and I was blessed to get to know them on a more personal level by taking care of Sam during hospital stays. Sam asked his wife (as of yesterday), Abby, to marry him the day he was diagnosed. We have all looked forward to the wedding day (probably not as much as Sam and Abby!) to help them celebrate their relationship and a new life together. The day was beautiful, the ceremony was amazing, and the reception was every bit the party that Sam and Abby had requested! We all had a wonderful time! We have all prayed very hard for Sam's health these past several months during treatment, and we have found that the praying must continue, as Sam's cancer has returned as of two weeks ago. After the honeymoon Sam and Abby will return and start new treatment for Sam's cancer. They will need all the prayers that can possibly be directed towards them... so please pray for them!

The late night was worth it!
