Received an email today asking about us... And it has made me think... Well we are good, actually great. I used to feel like I wasnt supposed to be great. But lifes curve balls and John Hostes fight and daily reminders of how wonderful he was have formed us and made us stronger. Ben is making college decisions, Maddy is thriving at UT, Abby is loving Notre Dame. Dont get me wrong we miss him EVERYDAY. For along time missing him defined me....but then I realized the bad things NEVER defined him. Johns life has shown us that you always give 100% until its over. Cancer never beat John he looked it in the face overcame every road block and never complained, never saying poor me and usually making a joke and others smile. Every day I think Im overwhelmed reminded that he went to work without a hip, in a wheelchair, post chemo sores, no hair, tired and with a smile! Still on top of everything, singing loud loving us and showing it. My kids are so amazing because of the man he was. Maddy has is gift of life that she brings to every room she enters and person she meets. Ben has his drive, focus and ability to work through tough spots. Abby shines with her love and acceptance for others always seing the good in everyone just like John did. With an amazing work ethic he was known for. As for me I think everyday how would John handle this. And I do my best tired or not just like he would have... I dont get up at 4:30 am to work out although I should lol. In the past year I began I dating a great guy who has shown me a lot and helped me feel again and I know john would be happy about that. ... SO WE ARE GREAT...we miss john we are moving forward and we know GOD has our back. Thanks to all who have prayed for us we have felt it.
