Grateful

First, let me express some thoughts I have. I am concerned my posts are too whiney and full of complaints. And I suppose that is mostly true as I am almost always writing about chemo. Frankly, there isn't much good to being a chemo patient. The actual process is difficult and tiring, as I have certainly shared in the past.

However, that said. There are definite positive experiences in it all. Overwhelmingly, it is the incredible people in my life. I am so supported and so blessed to have such a strong circle of that support. Many of you check in with me at weekly or more. Meals have been made for us. Babysitters (yes, to watch me) have spent hours at my house. Visitors help pass the time and keep me company. Some of you have been my Special Guest during my chemo appointments.

I am sure you are familiar with the old adage about the cup being either half full or half empty. Mine is actually both. Lots of struggles and many blessings. But even more so, I am grateful to just have the cup.

Thank you for keeping up with my journey through this blog. Thank you for all the cards, flowers, gifts, rides, and companionship. Thank you for all the texts, calls, and emails. Your efforts and thoughts and prayers carry me through. You, and my family, are the reasons I fight, every week, for success and healing. I am eternally grateful for each and every one of you.

So here is a look at who you are actually supporting. Raw and honest, no filters. This is the real me.
