I have always taken life 3 months at at time. I can do anything for 3 months. Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall are each 3 months. I have been doing this cancer thing for 6 seasons now. I’m getting pretty tired. Sometimes it’s hard to find my happy. It’s hard to be positive all the time. I have been doing a lot of self care and things to make myself feel better. Also finding lights through the day. Like, when I get together with my neighbor for coffee and I get to see her adorable little boys. Or when I meet my friends. Or making my body run or lift weights. Or taking time to read and meditate.
I have not been forgotten. My people have stuck with me through all of this for some crazy reason and I am incredibly grateful. They could have easily chosen to step out of my life and not have dealt with this. I seriously cannot thank God enough for my people.
I only have 1 more treatment left!!!!! Jeremy and I broke this adventure down to numbers.
2 Surgeries. 30 Chemo treatments. 25 Radiation sessions. 2 of my birthdays. 1 tired woman. 3 lives in survival mode for a year and a half.
When Mommy is broken, Jeremy and Liv are strong for me.
Liv told me last night that she wants to be just like me when she grows up. I told her she will be much better than me.
One more surgery to go. Then we are DONE. I have decided to do reconstruction after all. We just need to get the okay from my radiation doctor, who I am seeing in a couple of weeks.
My sweet friend sent me this song today. It talks about all the support that a cancer diagnosis needs. I cannot imagine what we would have done without all the love and support we have received. Thank you all for loving me so well through this.
XOXO

OMG I love this song! I first heard it on a viral video of a teachers class singing it to her because she had cancer. She wept..so did I. So in awe of your strength. I pray for you every day. Love and hugs.Aunt Tami
