Thank Yous
Thank you Kathy and Dan for letting us take your boat out today…in spite of our difficulties we had a great time! And the way I look at it I was “stuck” in a small space with my children longer than I would have been if not for our engine troubles. All’s well that ends well, for us, and I hope there are no major issues with the boat. As I sit here typing my body is still rocking back and forth a bit.
Thank you Emily for the FU cancer voodoo doll! Love it Love it! And your note, not unlike all the notes you’ve ever written me made me cry.
Thank you Andrea for going to bat for me with the doctors office.
Thank you Maria for making me laugh with a random text this morning.
Thank you Roz for the visualization.
Thank you Jenni for the reminder about all the things cancer cannot touch.
I hesitate to start thanking you by name as I don't want to leave anyone out…but you know, for sure, I thank you all. Thank you for being there for us.
And to my daily readers, I want you to know ahead of time I’m taking the weekend off. I feel good, I have good energy, I'm going to be ready on Monday to begin the fight and I'm taking all of you with me!
good night
Janet
Janet,
ReplyDeleteI heard just today - my thoughts (and D and N and E's) are with you.
One thing leading to another, I'm ending the day with this poem that I just found that had me thinking of you, so I offer it to you:
"Are you Mr. William Stafford?" - by William Stafford
"Are you Mr. William Stafford?"
"Yes, but...."
Well, it was yesterday.
Sunlight used to follow my hand.
And that's when the strange siren-like sound
flooded
over the horizon and
rushed through the
streets of our town.
That's when sunlight came from behind
a rock and began to follow my hand.
"It's for the best," my mother said ~
"Nothing can ever be wrong for anyone
truly good."
So later the sun settled back and the sound
faded and was gone. All along the streets
every house waited, white, blue, gray;
trees were still trying to arch
as far as they could.
You can tell when strange
things with meaning
will happen.
I'm (still) here writing it down
just the way it was.
"You don't have to prove anything,"
my mother said.
"Just be ready
for what God sends."
I listened and put my
hand
out in the sun again.
It was all easy.
Well, it was yesterday.
And the sun came,
Why
It came.
