Friends :)

Here I sit for my last chemo today. When I walked in here, I was so happy. I then found out one of the ladies who I had become friends with had passed away last week. The ironic thing is that I had hats for her that my Mom had made and planned on surprising her with them. Boy, it hit me like a ton of bricks and I was sobbing for what seemed like forever. This was very unexpected and her husband had been right be her side this whole time. Her name was Miriam and she had the best personality, her cancer had spread to her lungs and her spine.......I guess sometimes, sadly, cancer wins ;(

Speaking of surprises, I turned the corner to come down to the chemo room and there stood Beth, Traci, and Jenny. What great friends :) They had balloons, necklaces and sparkling grape juice! I really needed that after the news I had just been given.
This cancer stuff is hard and it is an emotional roller coaster! I am just thankful that I have wonderful people in my life (ALL of you) to help me make it through all this and still have a smile on my face.
