Every time a baby is born at Tripler a little lullaby tune goes off all throughout the hospital. It brings a smile to my face every time. While other patients and I are here going through a very challenging time, today is a day of rejoicing for others. It is easy to fall into a pity party. I've done it. It isn't sustainable. Romans 12:15 "Rejoice with those who rejoice and weep with those who weep." As we gather bells for August 23rd, and I plan my over the top pink outfit....I thank you for rejoicing with me. I also thank you for weeping. Thanks for coming long side me and praying, supporting, providing meals, child care, flying across the ocean, cars, flowers, and sending rainbows from around the world. This morning Mike and I were talking about although chemo is coming to an end, cancer never really ends. It will always be part of me/us. God knows the future, its probably good we don't, we wouldn't be able to handle it. As some days will be better than others, we are going to try and choose Joy. Less screens and more prayer, family, friends and serving others. I urge you do to the same, you won't regret it.
What I Know God is Good I checked in, had vitals taken, got hydration and 1st medicine hung before Mike found a parking space. #parkinggaragenogo The chemo chairs have seat warmers Allie starts 1st grade on Tuesday I have appt with radiation Oncologist on Sept 7 What Made Today Normal Daniel saying, "I'm 2 1/2.
