It's a great day!

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone...Funny thing..as I was reading some of the posts, I

realized how little I really remember about my treatments..I know the

chemo made me sick, the surgery was a bit painful and the radiation

made me very tired.

What I remember most of all is the kindness of the doctors and

nurses, the loyalty of friends, the love of my children. I remember

the laughs, the positive attitudes that surrounded me and the days

that I felt really good. I remember the first time after chemo that

food tasted like it should..it was a Domino's pizza and it tasted

like ambrosia from the gods.

I lost my hair, but I don't remember just when that was..but I do

remember walking into a store with my bald head shining and being

hugged by the woman standing in line with me. I remember the little

girl standing next to her father who asked if she could touch my bald

head and how she smiled when she told me it felt just like her

grandpa's head.

I'm sure I must have cursed the powers that be that I was struck with

this horrible disease, but I don't remember that. I remember all the

prayers that were said for me by family, friends and people I didn't

even know.

I remember that when things seemed bad, meditation would help me

think of all the positive things in my life. I lost my hair, but I

gained a whole new circle of supportive friends. I lost my breast

but I gained a new sense of the wonders of the small things in my

life. I lost 50 pounds and gained a new wardrobe.

Life is good. God Bless each of you.
