I feel a need to share some great news in the midst of our coping with this 'new normal'.....
I'm not sure just how this happened (well technically heehee!) but both my sons' significent other had babies due within 2 weeks of each other! lol Well on Fri. Sept. 14th son #2 & wife had a baby girl! (that's 2 daughters for them yea!) Then on Sun. Sept. 23rd son #1 & fiance had a baby boy! (2nd son for each...Ben had a boy from prev marriage & Jen had a son & daughter from prev!!). (hubby's birthday was also the 23rd lol!)
So that makes 9 grandbabies (including 'step') to hug & kiss & love on to no end!! lol They give me reason to fight every day to get healthier...to enjoy life to the fullest. Hubby & I are trying to smile & laugh alittle more....& stress (just alittle?) less each day!
Thru my cancer journey we know 1st hand how life can change on a dime...how you may need to rethink your goals your plans your life in general. We're determined to make the best of this journey...to the best of our ability! lol No we didn't ask to 'be sick...to have an ostomy...to have our lives turned upside down. But we can fight...rethink our journey.
When I wake up each morning....I feel blessed to have another day to enjoy (inspite of the aches & pains I may feel lol!). So today I chose to see my new grandson (my son #2 lives in PA but we skype heehee) & hug Collyn while enjoying sweet baby smells (hey I can dream right lol).
May you all have a blessed day & can smile at least alittle in the midst of our crazy 'storms'!! ;~}
