Great day today! Got to see my sweet Tatum Bug! I met the Nagle's at Hobby Lobby after a meeting this morning. Now THAT is NOT a good store for me to go into:P....at least not for my bank account! Fortunately today was a short visit-just long enough for several hugs and kisses and to receive a gift they had brought for me. They are the best, and think of all the right things to warm my heart and make me feel better.
I continue to be humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of well wishes, love, and prayers. The cards in the mailbox every day, phone calls (even with my very poor hearing) and emails are appreciated more than any of you can know-unless of course, if you've been in this place.
As I deal with my roller-coaster mood swings each day/each hour/sometimes each minute, I am often presented with a situation or information about a person involving a far worse circumstance than my own. Oh...I'm not trying to diminish the fears and concerns of cancer, because I have moments when I start thinking too much and praying too little and slip over to that dark place. It scares the hell out of me. (sorry, but heck just didn't sound strong enough) If I ponder others - Sherry Arnold and family/friends from Sidney, Sweet little angel, Tate, and his awesome mommy, Annie, dear Connie, and so many others that we all know and love-it puts things back into perspective and helps me get out of that place in my head where I shouldn't be. I stop and count my blessings.
Cards like this make me want to fight this crap all the harder!
And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness... Deuteronomy 7:15
Thinking of your GG and saying lots of comforting prayers for you!
