90 years of birthdays marks this day for my mom, and I would love to honor her and wish her the best 90th birthday. She shows up every day to sit with me and I know some days she has better things to do, yet she comes and smiles and stays. I'd like to believe that my role is that of caregiver but my whole family, friends, and neighbors have surpassed me in me own chosen role. I feel so blessed.
My brain radiation will be completed on Wed, Aug 31. On that same day I will start back on chemo. I'm still holding on to a few strands of hair-I'm keeping it, my decision, for now anyway.
I'm looking forward to seeing family and friends this weekend in celebration of moms birthday. She invited 90 guests to her 90th. Sounds appropriate. Natalie has taken the reigns and organized it. Nat, I will be in charge of mom's 91st!
Thanks to all for your continued love, support, and prayers. I draw great strength from you. The YSA 1st ward surprised me last night with a precious quilt. It was a great night to visit and enjoy each others company. The official "no visitors" sign is down. Please come visit. You will bring me joy and my smiles getting a bit rusty!
One more thought, summer is officially over. Jaxon, I wish you the best as you start second grade! And a "happy birthday" to Monica. A shared birthday with mom!
I have always thought that your Mom is the
ReplyDeletegreatest. I would love to live to be 90 and be
as healthy and active as she is.
I'm so happy that you were able to have those
radiation treatments. And good luck getting back to your chemo.
I WILL come to visit. That sounds wonderful!
Love You! Ruth
