I didn't realize how much I mentally thought I had "control" over the cancer just because I was physically and actively going through chemo. Now that chemo is finished, I just feel like I have no control and we all know how I like my control! :) AND even though I keep telling myself I really never had control in the first place... I am trying to figure out how to get un-stuck! I need to find and feel my trust in God like I have since my diagnosis even more so now!
I just added this picture to Facebook. It makes me happy and sad at the same time. I took this the day after Christmas (yes, Henry is almost always in shorts) It was very impromptu and since I love taking pictures, something I am known to do. Especially with the kids. After and during this picture and me asking everyone to "get together with Dad for a picture" every one of the kids asked "why?!" And "what's wrong?!" "What do you have to tell us?!" Every one of them instantly thought we had some bad news to tell them. Some absolutely positive about it, when it was nothing more than I wanted a cute picture. It just about broke my heart and really caught me off guard. I guess we will all be on edge for a while.
We are all still here,in your corner,praying everyday. You have risen to this challenge and have fought every step, you will be on top of this mountain...very soon! I am always here to listen or anything else you may need. Dawn
ReplyDeleteI think it is completely normal that you feel as you do considering the grueling ordeal you have been through. I understand how unsettling this is for you and I pray for peace for you and your family. That is a wonderful photo of your happy looking family. You must be doing something right!
