Chocolate pie and roast…yes please. The rules of no red meat can go out the window this week. This is a celebration of love people. It’s our Anniversary week. Ron and I got married 6 years ago. We have not had the easiest start, and yet, we are incredibly strong together. I love you, Ron.
This week is also Holy Week. I thank Jesus for walking beside us on our journey, for guiding us through our fears, and for quieting the storms in our lives.
My sister, who is my super hero right now, deserves praise. Helping me get the rest I need to function has given me strength.
Doctors and nurses have also encouraged me… Their instrumental support and knowledge have lifted me up during this time of endless questions.
My friends and family, some of whom I have yet to thank, have given me hope in the midst of these trials.
To the rest of the world, I give my thanks for staying home… Thank you for considering me not expendable due to COVID-19. I know it’s rough right now. Some of you have lost jobs or income, others have lost time alone as you now care for and educate your children full time. Because of your actions, we can have hope of getting through this together. Truly, I thank you.
Zoey and Ian, you are my sunshine, my joy, my beauty… I love you always and forever.
In other news… my cancer is shrinking! The mass did feel extremely large and in charge, like it had grown more than 3x its size for a few weeks, but it is now going away. The doctor can’t feel it, and I only sometimes feel something there. Who knows if it is cancer or inflammation. Here’s hoping for the best! My first four treatments, supposedly the hard ones, are over! Thank God! AC (the chemo regimen I was on, a.k.a “the red devil”) you were a beast. Anytime I think of you I get nauseous. I still have more chemo sessions to go: Taxol, every single week for 12 more weeks. They say this one can cause me to lose feeling in my fingertips and toes. I can’t wait for this all to be over… The end.
P. S. Please pray that I get better sleep…I am really struggling with it lately. Thank you :).
