For Today

 Thank you Dad for the sausage and cheese balls.  Other than grapes, it's the only food I can eat.  Two in the morning for breakfast!  That's why my sister commented about eating foods shaped like spheres!

Thank you Mom for saying everything and nothing all at the same time.  I'm sorry you have to shut my door so often.  At least, the dog still wants to hang out with me when I'm tossing cookies!

Julie the cards made me cry, of course. I am unbelievably grateful for your friendship. I love you bunches. Mom said she met Lucky.  He didn't sit on HER LAP though!!!!!!!! Ohhh and by the way that song is called Wish Upon A Dog Star.  I'll explain it, later!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Michelle thank you for letting me unleash today.  I felt much better after I said everything out loud.  I miss you and I cannot wait to see you.

S.B. ~ thank you for crying with me.  Plain and simple....I love you.

I've been reading Chicken Soup For The Surviving Soul.  I want to share one of my favorites.  Though there were 50 Things I've Learned Along The Way listed.  I picked what I felt mostly applied to my lessons.

* I've learned a patient doesn't just get cancer.  The entire family does.

* I've learned that helping people see the "gift of cancer" is a blessing.

* I've learned that healing the spirit is as important as healing the body.

* I've learned that hospital food MUST be a punishment for sins in a previous life!

* I've learned that your body believes everything you tell it.

* I've learned that timeflies whether you are having fun or not.

* I've learned that reality is what it is, and not what I want it to be.

* I've learned there is a HUGE difference between a major episode and a minor event.

* I've learned that if I don't celebrate the exquisiteness of each day, I've lost something I'll never get back.

* I've learned that grief has no rules.

* I've learned that no one promises us tomorrow.

* I've learned without a sense of humor, I might as well cash in my cards.

I'm exhausted and still in pain.  Coughing and not keeping food down, status quo.  No more bleeding...but shhhhhhhh I am afraid if I say it too loudly I'll jinx myself!

I am going to tuck in now.  Pamela if you are awake, please call me.

I love y'all tons.  Please keep the prayers and comments coming!

 

*** Please say prayers for my family.

*** Please say prayers for Nathan (They didn't "get it all".), Ms Bobby (she started radiation), Mr. Russo, Ms Pammy (recovering from surgery.), Lenore, Trish, David Carey, Sugar, Cindy (She's in remission), Tammy (she's in remission) and Jeannette. They are fighting the battle with cancer too .

*** Please say prayers for Jay Carey and his family.  He is in Iraq, fighting the war.
