I
haven’t written in a while partly because I didn’t want to, I don’t know why I
just didn’t. Every once in a while I
have moments where I face the reality that I have cancer and things will
change. Things like spending time with girls. I watch every movement, every
facial expression, giggle, scream. I just want to ingrain those memories into
my brain so I can remember them when things might get hard. I look at Paul’s auburn beard and him coming up to give me a hug whether I want one or not and reminding him not to knock me over to be gentle. Austin even
though he’s so tall and grown-up I still make him lean over and give me a hug.
He’s been willing to help with things (most of time) especially when a lot gets
put on him to do and especially when the girls are over here I couldn't do it without him. The girls especially Peyton want him to come play with her. Chris and Courtney are always there being concerned, and willing
to help with whatever I need. Mark is such strength to me. I know he feels the
pressure of finances as I do but he just keeps working so hard, with time to
still help others. Parker-every time we can converse through email on his p-day
he always asks “how are you?” I've taken a couple of selfies (self-pictures) to send to him to show him right now I'm really doing ok. I know it would be hard to be on your mission and
find this out but what better blessing could I have than to have my son serving
a mission for the Lord! I hope I never forget those memories…
We took the girls to church today. It was ok but Mark said “we've done this”; kind of like why do we have to do it again… They were really pretty good. Peyton wanted to go to primary with Mia and Chloe escaped down the hall. We found her in the nursery with the toys so we stayed at church. Chris and Courtney’s new car broke down on them last night on their overnighter so Mark had to go and pick them up at the Homestead in Midway.
