Yes, feeling thankful. After five days in Southwest Wisconsin, I traveled back home to the north woods today. My parents are doing good, but just waiting now for my dad's next surgery on March 2. I'll be back to help the folks in 2 1/2 weeks. It's tough with cancer....appointments, monitoring, surgery, pain and just trying to live a normal life. I'm thankful my dad isn't going through chemo or radiation because that would totally rob him of a somewhat normal life. I told my dad that after this surgery to remove more tumors in his bladder, he can then enjoy a wonderful summer, with NO APPOINTMENTS! For now, we won't think about the fall months. Just take one month at a time.
When I arrived home today, Bike man pointed out our amaryllis was blooming. There are still more unopened blossoms just waiting to open. Don't you just love the color?
And my sweet little Annabelle! She was so happy to see me, along with the other three felines. My BIG cat Aiden hasn't left my side since I got home. He is my 24 pound lap cat!!! Zero degrees outside, no problem. Aiden will keep me warm....better than a blanket ya know!
PS. 28 years ago today, Bike man and I welcomed our son Christopher in our lives. I thought for sure I was having another baby girl, but was totally surprise to give birth to a baby boy! Love you Chris....we are so proud of you.
Happy Birthday to Chris! 28 years old. Wow!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you Dad is doing alright. Yes, there are always things to be thankful for; sometimes hard to find, but always there. It is so nice that you are able to be there for them and help them through these tough times.
Glad we've got warmer weather heading our way this week!
Just can't believe my baby boy is now 28 yrs old...where did those years go??? Yes, I'm looking forward to some warmer weather this week.
