This morning, woke up at a little after 5am. I have a wonderful feeling inside. Sometimes, you are just very, very happy, very very grateful. Today, is my last big chemotherapy. At least for now, this cycle. I have a wonderful friend staying with us and so far, the kids' being home has been a joy.
I know there are downs to match the ups, but in all honesty, I have been supremely blessed since my diagnosis.
Going through my emails, got happy birthday wishes from a few most unexpected sources. Thank you, thank you for remembering me and for your kindness.
The table is magically set with sparklers and napkins and a card and gift in blue (favourate colour). I hope to share that with the family later today.
So, I'm pleased as punch about reaching my last big chemo. Feeling an accomplishment. I open an email from an old friend in Australia, who I haven't seen in 30 years or more, and see a video of two tall women fitting themselves into a box. Jeeeeez! Suddenly my own accomplishments seem so much more mundane. People can be so amazing.
Thank everyone for lifting me up for the last 4 months.
I said it on Facebook, but Happy Birthday Brenda! Your birthday pal had his dinner and gifts last evening so Drew did not have to drive here again tonight. It was good - which is nice because today was more high drama with kids! Nothing serious though and like you, we have much to be grateful for. I am so glad you had a good day!
