March 30, 2009

I have been so blessed to have someone willing to stay with me every night. I'm so thankful that my mom is staying with me during the week and at times when she has had to go home to go to her Dr., my sister Julie and my sister-in-law Robin have come to stay with me. On the weekend, I want my mom to be able to go home to my dad and I want to thank Gloria, Misty, Betty Bath, and Joellen for offering to stay with me. I totally appreciate all the help and especially how Kelsey has stepped up too! I love you all and thank you very much!

I also want to thank the many of you who have helped with meals. You have all brought some delicious food and we are totally greatful for all of it, and especially your generosity.

Today was a wonderful day! I felt great and my mom, Kelsey and I went to get "my new doo" today. I wasn't brave enough to pick a different color hair, but it is a new style and Kelsey really likes it too. You'll all probably see it soon because I am scheduled to start my first chemo treatment this Thursday, April 2nd. Please be praying that all will go well with chemo.

  1. You are easy to cheer on with your positive attitude. And from the responses you have had with help and prayers, I am guessing that you were a cheer leader for others when they required the extra TLC and assistance. It is wonderful that you were able to "pay it foward" for others and that they are paying it forward for you!

    A young lady (perhaps in her late 20's) had some kind of surgery (or something) and her head was shaved or ? She chose to simply wear a lightweight hat until her hair grew back in. She works in the local grocery store and is seen by many. We pray that you continue to have the self confidence to continue to shine in both private and public. You are who you are because of your faith and personality....not your hair. You are a special person, filled with love. Your pride and faith are an inspiration for others.

    Thank you for all you inspire others to do!

  2. I agree with Betty, it is a blessing for those of us who get to bring you a meal and visit. I know that Howard and I are filled with the joy of the Lord after we see you.

    Love, Donna
