Showered and dressed before 3pm. First time in three or so days. Upswing. Victories. Don't want the kids to only ever see me half-out-of-it on the couch. Hope they remember so much more than this.
Grateful for silver linings, one of which is how family and friends are gathering around us in prayer and with offers of support. Cancer is a lot of hard things. It is already proving to be a lot of connecting with loved ones and strengthening of relationships and that is so, so good.

Hi Cutie :)
ReplyDeleteOne of the many reasons I admire and respect you is the intentional way you parent. You have mastered the art of maximizing teachable moments - even in this trying and beyond difficult season. xo
ReplyDeleteRest when you need to :) Your kids understand you are sick, so it's ok to not be put all together all of the time. I always say that I don't know how people with kids do it. You are a brave, brave lady!:) ~Barb Stingl
ReplyDeleteSo special to see the glimpse of a smile to tell me that you are on the upswing. You are beautiful inside and out!! Love you my friend.
