Poooooof!

Life as I knew it changed that fast! One day things were going along as usual. In fact I was getting a little bored with it all, my job, my home, my life and the next thing I knew my husband (who wishes to remain nameless) and I are sitting in a hospital room talking with a team of doctors about the "C" word. CANCER! We were blindsided! We never saw it coming! That quick! One day things are going along, la, la, la, and the next day the rules of the game have completely changed.
His prognosis is good and we are very optimistic. Interesting...it's in his body but "we" have cancer. I see life differently now. What I once viewed as "hard" doesn't look too bad. I'll take my problems over his. And how can I complain about cleaning the house, going to work, mowing the lawn, caring for our children? He's dealing with chemo and radiation therapy on a daily basis and still going to work. He's my hero.

It is just as hard on you! Just tell me if you ever need a brake, Im always up for a late night Sonic or movie!!! I'll miss you in the library, but I guess I will have you give you up for the better cause of the ward! Everyone is in for a real treat! I hope I can lock things up so I can come hear your lessons!!!! You will be amazing!!!! Love ya

Holy smokes.... You have such an amazing attitude. You are right... a quick way to put things into perspective is telling somebody that they are now going to change their life.
You did great today! Good lesson. It's my favorite class. Always has been, always will.
Hang in there.
