Re: My latest feelings

Yeaay! You are doing so well. It may not always feel like it, but from the sound of it you are handling things great, considering the circumstance. And you are sooo blessed to have such a supportive husband.
My son has been my best medicine, too (six years old). You have the right attitude. Fight for your kids so you can be here for them. It worked for me. I'm currently cancer free and pursuing my dreams and my family is better than ever. Hang in there. There are brighter days ahead. I love your images of the snow and the cookies (we're making gingerbread men today, too) and the train and the tree. Sounds like my childhood Christmases in Minnesota.
Enjoy the season,
Celeste
