Jen and I are creating this blog as a labor of love.  Our dear friends, Rich and Teri Beardall, recently discovered that their beautiful 18 year old daughter, Michalla, has Adavanced Myeloid Leukemia.  Rich and Teri have been showered with love and well wishes and in an effort to help them express their gratitude, they asked us to create this blog.  They also want to share their trials, struggles, successes and victories with friends and loved ones.  In addition, they want to catalog the events as a means to always remember the lessons learned and the love shared.  Rich & Teri, Megan, Michalla, Logan, Cambri and Faith - we love each of you dearly and want you to know that our Father in Heaven is near each of you everyday!!  Love dearly - Jim & Jen
