I just keep looking at the date. I wonder how just a few letters and numbers can have such a place of importance in a person's life or in this case, a family's life. I wonder how a day can evoke such joy and yet even that joy is tainted with a flood of painful emotions.
I have looked forward to this day for weeks, maybe even months. Now that it's here I'm not sure what to do with it. Because when you boil it down, it is just another day. Another day of getting the kids up and off to school. Another day to feed the dog and cats. That was another day a year ago. Today another day is...another day of chemo, another day of fatigue, another day on a roller coaster of emotions.
I am thankful for the support of everyone over the past year. I am thankful for the meals brought over, Pauline's desserts, childcare, prayers, listening ears, and shoulders to cry on.
I am most thankful for another day.
