The Kindness of Family and Friends

In the crazy world that we live in, I just want to take a minute and thank everyone who has reached out to me during this time. Sometimes our world can seem dark and scary. Yes, I have been diagnosed with gastric cancer and I have been going through chemotherapy. There have also been some crazy news stories about politics and sad news about shootings in the past couple of weeks, but there have also been some good in the world. There have been many individual acts of kindness.

In the past few weeks I have received a number of cards wishing me well, emails, phone calls, frozen meals, plants, a key chain, and yard ornaments. My parents are doing what they can during the week to help me out around the house and drive up to my house during most afternoons. Last week when the home health nurse arrived to unhook me from chemo she asked me "so who was there to visit you at chemo?" and I had to ask her "what did that person look like?" because on that day I had so many visitors time just flew by. I was so happy to see both Janet and Kelly who I worked with at the Hope Lodge. Kelly spent hours with me and my parents that day.

I just want to say "Thank You"! You didn't have to, but you did. You reached out to me to brighten my day and let me know you were thinking of me. I truly appreciate all of it!

Much Love <3
