Reflections on the past year…
I find it interesting that on this Friday (June 18), we were cleared to close on the house while one year ago on that Friday (June 19) I was told I have cancer (which I then met up with Kristen and JB and said “I have cancer. So let’s get drunk.” And thanks guys for taking the commend seriously and getting drunk. The night ended in a dive bar with the entire bar singing along to Baby Got Back.)
To celebrate just how far we have come, Brendan and I cashed in a christmas gift and went to erbaluce for dinner. (We both wanted what we got last time but branched out. I got the steak and Brendan got the poached lobster) And in talking, we both never thought that 1 year later we would have a dog, be buying a house and Brendan at a new job. And while I am still technically “in treatment” and still finishing up the reconstruction, we are doing tremendously well.
And we have to thank you for all your support, cupcakes, well wishes, food, babysitting, prayers, etc. We couldn’t have made it to this point without you. And I am serious.
Congratulations on passing the one year mark!
You rock, plain and simple. I can’t wait to come see the new house.
Thanks! August 24 1 year cancer free is the next milestone.
I can’t wait for you to come see the new house.
