I’m on the road but I wanted to try post about this. Let’s see how posting by phone goes!
Today marks seven months since my surgery. I cannot tell you how much my life has changed since I was wheeled in to the operating room. I can be myself again. I can enjoy my grandchildren. I can leave the house. I’m no longer stared at. But most of all, I feel so much healthier.
However (I bet you were waiting for that however), there also the not knowing how many days this will be true. They say that this kind of cancer rarely returns to another part of the body but there’s still a chance. That has really made me realize that up can’t waste time. Every chance I get I have to grasp and drain every bit if joy from it. Especially where my grandchildren are concerned. Every smile; every laugh; every hug; every time they ask “how many more minutes?”; every single opportunity to love those little boys…I have to grab and enjoy every single moment.
This is a good thing. We can not and should not take anything in life for granted.
Life is precious. Life it’s fleeting. Life is to be lived.
Feeling better is wonderful. And there’s also something to be said for the reminder that nobody has as much time as they want or need…and your presence in your family’s life is precious.

Posting by phone is difficult for me to do. But you did it very well!
Congratulations on your seven month anniversary. I’m so glad you are feeling better and able to do things you had not been able to do again. We all need to take time to let each moment sink in fully. Just to slow down and take it all in!
