Mom Update
It has been a while since I have mentioned my Mom. This has been her hardest battle yet. The chemo is much more aggressive then anything she has had in her other 2 bouts with cancer and she is feeling it. If anyone thinks I am tough I get it from my Mom. Compared to her I am a wimp. Hearing the pain in her voice I know that whatever they are giving to her is hard core. Her status now is they have succesfully harvested her stem cells. She has one more round (the hardest one) of chemo before the bone marrow transplant. I will be there in Oct. after the transplant to help with her care. I wish I was there now.
You know like everyone I have had my set backs, disappointments, and pitty parties. I always discounted it when my friends would say “you have your health”. Now I know just how powerful that is. Everytime I throw my leg over my bike is a gift, every second I spent with my friends is a gift, waking up every morning to a day of endless possibility is a gift. Don’t take it for granted. Your health and the company you keep are all that matters, everything else is static. Most people (including me) spend to much time and energy focused on the static. It is life robbing. Take care of yourself and the people you love and everything else will fall in place.
