Lately it feels like the last 4 years has been all about chapters. We all go through different chapters in our lives; childhood, adolescence, independence, marriage, etc. But of late, the chapters seem to be shorter, with an incredible amount of action packed into each one. Who can forget such thrillers as, lymphoma, melanoma, and now, moat recently, small cell lung cancer.Each one of these chapters has its own twists and turns, and each one provides new insights into the main characters, while introducing new and important characters who help to thicken the plot.
It often seems to me that this should be someone else's story. This is the stuff I see on some news magazine special, or read about in Reader's Digest. This isn't the stuff that happens to ME, or to MY family. And yet here I sit at the Mayo Clinic, waiting for another appointment, surrounded by others who have probably thought the same thing at some point.
I'm starting this blog to share with just a few people who I love. I want you to know about this process, and give some perspectives that I don't always share on Facebook, or Caring Bridge; sometimes there is just too much stuff to put out there.
I cannot promise that this won't get heavy at times, but I will do my best to keep this upbeat, or at least put a positive spin on things.
