Tomorrow is our son's thirteenth birthday.
Today I learned I might have bladder cancer.
Today we suspect our son's seizures are back.
Last month we learned my father's cancer is back.
Four days from now is Mother's Day.
Life does go on . . but for now, all I can do is cry.
Another way to look at things...
ReplyDeleteYesterday our son was soooo much younger. He is growing up so much more than in just age. He has you to thank for that.
Today you learned that by getting that blood test now, instead of putting it off until next year, you are soooo much better off than you would have been. Whatever the issue may be.
Today, unlike that time we first got the news years ago, we know not only how to treat his seizures, but that it works so well he can be seizure free very soon.
Last month, your 83 year old father drove himself to his doctor, found out he caught his problem quickly, and then went out and played one of his 4 weekly rounds of golf - again - at the age of 83.
Four days from now, I will say out loud what I feel in my heart every day. Dimitri is the luckiest kid on the planet to be blessed with such a remarkable Mom.
All I can do ... is thank God for all the blessings I have ... Number one is YOU!
So go ahead and cry ... but remember, the fuller and more dear are the things in our lives ... the more we have to cry about.
To love deeply will bring a lot of crying. But through your tears, always remember the love.
