Just for fun, because I love him SO damned much, Sammy helped me do a little photoshoot with Leo. And then I was able to take a couple selfies. Some of them are pretty funny, lol.
Gosh, what a good boy he is. My sweet soul pup.
Enjoy!
I know I keep saying it, and it's probably getting old, but this year has just been different. And I know it'll continue to be. Easter was at the tail end of Spring break this year. It was also my chemo week. Knowing we weren't going to be doing anything for Spring break because of chemo, we allowed Molly to take a trip to Colorado to see a friend who moved there last year. So she was gone all of Spring break. This was her first time flying alone, and from what I hear, everything went smooth and she had a great time visiting her friend. Her return flight was Sunday late afternoon, which was Easter. It felt weird waking up Easter morning and not making a huge breakfast. And equally as weird not to be doing baskets and our egg hunt in the morning. But I really didn't want to do anything without Molly home. Easter would just have to wait until the evening. At least I was well enough to get out of bed!
Today Sam and I have been married for 17 years. I'm not sure how it's been that long. It doesn't feel like 17 years has gone by.
Instead of going out and celebrating our anniversary, I am in bed recovering from my third round of chemo. I've hardly the energy and brain capacity to do this post.
I am so very thankful for Sam.
Remember in your vows when you say "for better or worse....in sickness and in health..." Right now, this cancer journey that I am on....this is the worse part, the sickness part. We are living it right now.
Sam is my rock. He shows up for me. No matter what mood I'm in, no matter what I'm feeling....he accepts the moment for what it is without judgement. He listens to me. He holds me. He comforts me. I don't think I could ask for anything more.
I can't wait for this cancer shit to be over. But until then, I've got him.
