Reminding me how thankful I am for being here and how blessed we are for the circle of love our little family of 6 received. The genuine good human spirit shown by so many came out on top, it trumped anything I was going through, kudos to each one of you and beyond! It is humbling to sit here today full of life, busy with everything we often complain about yet would be a lost without. All of those dreaded moments that were real for me exposed the signs of the amazing humanity of our friends and family, the ones that stop me in my tracks many times a week keeping me forever grateful. Goodness I was so scared of what the next few months were going to be like, in hindsight it was clearly the fear of the unknown. The way I looked that first night when I was home as I was waiting for the other foot to fall, I was so ashen gray which increased my fear. Yes, I cringe thinking of the drive to my first chemotherapy, the multitude of IV mishaps, the endless doctors appointments that were so very important and yet emotionally exhausting. Each day I would take on all that came my way to ensure that I was fully prepared for the next day.Īs the days, weeks and months pass I find myself having flashbacks to “ last year at this time“, would you ever think that one would want to recall all the crap a year of cancer treatment takes you through? Well I certainly would not, yet it brings me to tears as I recall how amazing all of you were. Our society is living proof that many of us need to heed this advice more often. With a young family and new marriage I knew I was not going to let breast cancer and its treatments get the best of me, despite my initial fear. Without purposefully doing so, I lived by this statement over the past year.
