This is the time of year when you can get your yearly 'Girl Scout Cookie's'. Not the most nutritious snacking but sweet memories from childhood fill my mind while enjoying them. I stepped out of my office for a moment and upon my return my boss was talking about our favorite cookie's, the peanut butter sandwich ones, yummy yummy. I asked him who was selling them this year and he said that I came too late, sales are over for the Girlscouts. This made me sad until....

Today's Joy: My boss told me he would share our fab faves with me if I was really really good. I did not need the pressure to be good and teased him about the pressure he places upon me daily (yeah right). I was sad to know that sales were over but felt it was for my own good.

On Sunday Mighty Oak felt like he was 'not even sick' so he took a ride by himself to try to go shopping and help with the errands he used to be able to do. He went to the bakery and came home so proud.

More Joy: So happy he replied: "Marie, I went to the bakery and brought you a cheese danish (more nutrition-ha). If you think that is a treat, look in the other bag."

Opening the bag slowly I peeked in. Laying alone in this bag was a single box of my fab faves from Girl Scouts!! He told me that the little girl that sold it to him was 'knee high to a grasshopper'.

I did cry as I reveled in the romance of it all AND the normalcy. Another reminder of the life that once was. And still is. This is just the type of thing he would always do before getting sick. So I was thankful for the gesture, the cookies themselves, the normalcy once more. But most of all I loved the fact that cancer can only steal so much and that some things it can never rob!! Take that Cancer...how 'ya like me now??>>Believe51
