Day

Day
4 cut my legs out from under me. After feeling so well after treatment,
Saturday slapped me across the face. The upside to the day, was that I had my
wonderful family around for support. I had asked the boys if they could help me
by putting in the gardens, and they are doing a wonderful job. I am really
looking forward to pulling some great produce out of the beds this summer.
Will
and Marybeth brought wonderful food, and the most special greetings from
Harlan. Their entire church made cards for me, right down to the little ones.
It has certainly let me know that I am not alone in this, and that so many
people have me raised up in prayer, many that I have never met. I am humbled.
My
good friend Kelley brought food enough to feed the masses, slippers to keep my
feet warm, and a wonderful saying about friendship. Although the poem on
friendship was directed at me, it is Kelley that epitomizes what friendship
should be. By any measure, I fall short of her example.
Carlee,
Donnie and the boys were also here to work on the garden project and keep me
company. Even if I wasn’t in the middle of things yesterday, I appreciate everyone
being here, and all that was accomplished for me.
Hope that today is a better day, my dear friend. Love and miss you. I will come out for a visit soon - I will be in Louisville this weekend - if you are up to it, I can stop by on my way back through. Love you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cheryl.... looking forward to spending some time with you!
DeleteAmy, If this shows up from SmithFamily Forum, it's because I have never figured out how to open my own Google account, so I use my sisters! I know, I'm very NOT tech savvy! Regardless, I am thinking of you and while reading your blog, remembering those days. It's kind of like child birth, when it's done......in a few years............you will forget all about it. And people will stop you and ask, (with a very concerned look on their face) how you are doing. And you won't remember that you had cancer and what they are talking about. I hope you will have that day sooner rather than later. You will be in my prayers daily.

Shelley, Thank you so much for the perspective. We have made it a joke here that except for this little cancer thing, everything's good! I am looking forward to the day when at least the hardest part is nothing but hindsight. I am so inspired by my friends who have walked through the fire and come out the other side. You are amazing women.
