Ramble. I thank you. [sheepish grin]
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.

What you do for me
It is through your comments that I can often find myself realizing what has happened, the tears release and flow, I can process through. Sometimes I am so fully trusting and laying down this whole thing to God that I don't really find myself reacting to the news. I hear it, I understand it as it pertains to me, but I am sort of separate mind from body and it actually worries me that I am not excited enough about good news. I'm sure this is a coping mechanism and it has benefit to me. But I also think it is important to release the emotions, experience, feel. I don't want to be numb. Reading your comments lets me see / feel / share in your reaction and brings the tears I need (I am a crier when I'm happy, always have been). It's like I need your comments to spark my own happy reaction to poke out from under the careful arrangements and prayers I have wrapped them in. I can't explain it. Please just accept my thanks and know how important your happiness and encouragement are to me. The hard stuff I can process through. The good stuff is actually weirder for me... I don't want to forget how to be pleased for myself when good news comes. I don't want my heart too guarded to accept good... God uses you in my life and that is so awesome!
