Today I was extremely tired. Chad got really sick during the
night and was not up to going boating with Lincoln & the girls on Sand
Hollow. He decided to stay at the condo with me and sleep most of the day. I
didn’t want to get his illness, so I stayed in the master bedroom and bath area
the entire day. It was fine, because I just slept on and off all day long.
At
one point I got online and saw an amazing youtube clip of a children’s oncology
ward at a Seattle Hospital. The kids and their nurses had put together a 4
minute video of the children and the nursing staff lip-syncing the song
“Stronger” by Kelly Clarkston. MY song! There were pictures of the kids dancing and
singing in the halls of the hospital. Many of them had posters with words
written on them like: HOPE, FIGHTER, LIVE. I was so moved by their enthusiasm
and smiles. I cried and cried as I watched them. It just hit a cord in me and I
was overcome by emotion. I’m grateful for the blessings in my life. I’m
grateful that I’m getting better and I look forward to the day that I will be
cancer free.
