[really trying]



Still so tired.  Was hoping today would be less so. Made it downstairs, not sure if I'll make it back up the stairs today.  Hard to feel celebratory, I'm trying.  This is the card from my littleset-boy-6-yrs-old... I had to turn my face from him to hide the tears.  I am just touched by his thoughtfulness.  Everyone walking on eggshells, wondering if it's okay to even say a quiet 'happy birthday'.  Oldest son has a cough, tomorrow is day 7-10 so germ-danger days.   A shower is high on my list, too tired.  Oi.  I'm not overly sad, just so tired this round.  Makes me worry that it's just going to get harder.  Look at that hair.  You want real, this is real.  [smile]  "How many more times until your cancer is gone, Mommy?  Ten?"  "Only eight."  "And then your all done?"  "I hope so, baby."

B just walked in singing the birthday song.

    Happy Birthday Kristin! Praying for you in California - asking the Holy Spirit to fill your home and your heart today, to cover you with His power and His peace, to fill you to overflowing, and to bring the Healing of our Savior to your body.

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY !!! and yes I yelled it. Its a milestone in your life and you deserve to celebrate it, even if that's just honouring how you are feeling and being kind to yourself. Just rest and accept all the love streaming your way. Hope your energy rebounds soon but I really think you have all the important stuff (loved ones) you need to make a day fabulous. If its true that nothing worth having comes easy, you are in for a long life of countless blessings. Try not to worry and if it helps a bit, remember worry is the same as praying for what you do not want.

    PS. I love the way you are rockin' the bed head on your special day. This could be the start of a new trend!
