Today I'm thankful for...
Incredible friendship that Lulu and I have made throughout the years
Having such great people to share my work days with (if you call it work?)
Beautiful place to call home, Reno
I had a wonderfully touching day. Today there were some amazingly giving people that touched my life today. We had two gifts delivered to the office for Lulu and the new baby today, that just shows the support that we have. There was some great gestures of concern for the family with a number of patients and their parents today also. One in particular that I was touched by. A family that's been part of our practice and our lives for close to 8 years (and has had a bit of adversity themselves lately) took the time to say hello and that they have been thinking and praying for us daily. It means more then I say with words that so many people care about us (especially Lulu and Lourdes). I know that Lulu is proud and doesn't want to reach out for help, but just knowing and seeing so many well wishers is therapeutic for our whole family. I hope you all are reading this right now, because I want you all to know how much we appreciated the love and hope that you bring us???
With everything that has been happening to me in the last 4 months I can begin to see there's a purpose to it all. Just today, Lulu told me as I came in the door from a great day at the office, that she really thinks that God has given her a gift. Not the cancer, but what comes along with it; patience, strength, appreciation, giving, and love of precious life. Another sign that my fabulous wife is above pity and has the strongest determination that I have witnessed in my life. I'm impressed daily by her, and I'm happy that I get to share my life with her.
This is a chemotherapy week, and Lulu's been talking about wanting to get it over with, so she can quit feeling sick and tired. I just hope that it does as well or better then the last six? I know that I'd be counting down the days until I was done!
