Everyday is a gift

Every morning I wake up and before I let the worries of the day get me down, I thank God for the gift of each new day. I am thankful for my beautiful family and for another day with my wonderful husband. We had lots of company over the past week and it has truly been a blessing to both of us. Earl had a good visit at the DR yesterday and felt pretty good. He slept most of the afternoon and that is good for him. He is mostly off the oxygen now and only uses it a few times a day. He is not taking much pain medicine either. We will not be doing anymore chemo for a while, if ever. He is improving each day and that is our goal, to have some good quality of life for now, without any treatment. He is happy about that. We are looking forward to Thanksgiving and having Drew home from School. I am ready to be off from work and do some cooking. We will spend some time enjoying the things that matter most, our love for each other and our family. We sit for hours watching some mindless TV and hold hands. When we go to sleep at night we spend most of the night with our hands clutched tightly together. I love him so much. And YES this cancer sucks but there is a plan in it all and I know in the end we will both have Victory in life. We are blessed in the good times and the bad. Donna
