HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
to me! Today marks the day I became a survivor. I am now a ONE YEAR SURVIVOR! PRAISE THE LORD!
It’s really hard to believe that one year ago today I was trying to comprehend the fact that I had cancer. Not knowing whether or not it had spread or how bad things really were – scary stuff. I look back now and cannot believe all that we’ve been through in one year’s time. Who would’ve thunk!
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank you all again for the prayers, words of encouragement, gifts, and help. It certainly made this journey bearable. I’m really looking forward to a much better year. I have received the all clear from my doctor. However, he won’t let me get my port removed just yet. They generally like to wait a year just in case. Well, I guess that’s ok. I guess it has to be since they really didn’t give me a choice. But, I’m not afraid of just in case.
I know I haven’t been posting much lately. Just seems like I’m so far behind on everything. I no longer have an excuse to just lie in bed and write on my blog. Life goes on and it seems to be moving on up to warp speed. Keeping up with the kids this summer has kept me really busy. Munchkin turned four two days ago. No more babies around here – well, technically anyway. I haven’t been able to work around the house yet and hope to get some organization done during the month of July. We’ll see…(stop laughing!)
I will close on what I thought was a funny note. However, as I told this story to some family members apparently it reveals my lack of parenting skills. But, I don’t care. I thought it was funny, so I’m going to tell it anyway.
The other night I told McGrooter to get in the shower. He did and I happened to round the corner as he was coming out of the bathroom. I looked and said, Didn’t you wear that underwear today? To which he replied, I’ve worn them all week. AAAAAAAAHHHHHH! Normally I am pretty good at being serious and laughing later, but I was so tired from working in VBS this week that I just laughed. I told him that was totally disgusting and was not funny. He says, Then why are you laughing? Good question. All I could say was, Because it is such a little boy thing to do! I promptly made him change and let the other pair walk itself down to the laundry room.

When he was ten, my brother came home from two-week Y camp many years ago having never opened the little trunk he took with him except to retrieve his swimsuit and one towel. The clothes were all clean—but musty.
Of course, if my mother sewed his name in all his underwear, as she’d done in mine, that might have had something to do with his reluctance to chance leaving any of it lying around.

Happy Anniversary!! Thank you, Lord, for the many ways your have shown yourself to Leslie and her family this past year. We would not have chosen the cancer but we rejoice in how you have met every need and even some wants throughout the year!
