Thanks and giving

This year Thanksgiving was very sweet, even without the pie. Last year, Thanksgiving was at my dads. I had been sick for 3 months previous and then spent the entire day in his bedroom not feeling well. Although, the next day I didn't miss out on shopping. I never miss a year of Black Friday shopping with Emy. Carla was there to help keep me alive with McDonald's sausage burritos with hot sauce. I had the strangest food cravings.

To make a long story short, kind of. We didn't have an answer to my illness until the middle of December. I had cancer, Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma to be exact. The last year was difficult for us but we were blessed. I have a lot of family and friends to THANK for GIVING me help along the way. Without them life would not have been bearable.

After finishing chemo in June I have been in remission for almost six months. My health has been progressing and I am getting back to normal. There are still challenges but I am very THANKFUL to be alive. THANKS again for GIVING me the love and support I needed. I am very fortunate to have such special people in my life.
