Reading back on some blog posts from November, after surgery and leading into radiation. Reflecting on the ups and downs of even just today... the energy, the emotions, the normal mommy-tolerance stuff. This is cancer and I'm doing it!
[smile]
I'm sitting here in tears and crying torrents... but happy torrents. I am just so heart-happy in this moment. How can a silly Maroon 5 song make me feel so ... in love with the lovingness of God? Crazy, right? I love how little seemingly inconsequential things can just stop me in my tracks and bowl me over with how loved I am, how much I love my God, how much I love the people around me, these kids, my husband, my parents and siblings and the whole gaggle of family that I am blessed with.
Bowled. over. with. love. in. my. heart.
[speechless] [grateful] [wow-ed]

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.
