Great night of rest for me and Pop. We got ready for the day and ate some breakfast ... well, I did anyway. Pop ate some cheese crackers and had a Pepsi. Said it filled him up. We visited with a lady at breakfast that has been fighting this ugly disease for over 13 years .... she mentioned it was a tough hard road and she has exhausted another clinic in treating her and is now at moffitt to look at new ways to battle this stuff. In the middle of our conversation she began to weep and said that she wouldn't change a thing about her life... even if she could .... that although times had been tough...she had met the most incredible people. People she sure she wouldn't have met and gotten to know had she not been in this battle. Here is this little lady with a tenacity about her that just couldn't be denied. A wave of admiration came over me ...... what a blessing she was to me this morning .... before most folks had even had their coffee. Pop even teased her about being from New Jersey as they were talking about Bucs football. Seemed they were pulling for the dolphins so that tickets this coming Sunday would be easier and cheaper to get. She invited us to the Bucs vs. Saints ball game this coming Sunday.... Pop declined said he hoped to be home watching it on TV
Pops color was good this morning and other than getting a little winded walking to treatment he looked to feel as good as expected. Check in was normal and we visited with friends we had met at Hope. It seemed the whole lodge was there getting treatment this morning. Gonna be a long day with infusion treatment and radiation following ... so ramp up your prayers today. Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement keep'em coming. And while your at it ...lets remember to keep loving God and loving people.

ReplyDeleteI wish I could be there physically to show you lots of lovin, but you know I'm always there in your heart, closer than anything. Everyday I miss you more and more. Sometimes we may feel like everyday is another day away from you, when really it is just one day closer to seeing your smiling shining face again. You are so strong Pop. You not only are a warrior, but you are my warrior. Sometimes my aches, pains, and heartbreaks may ruin my day, but then I think about you..and you give me that strength and encouragement to show me that its not all really that bad. Through all the stuff you have to deal with, with your treatments, you never let anything get in your way or keep you from having a completely horrible day. You always find something to joke about or smile about, and with me, one little thing can make my day go down the drain. Pop, over these past few weeks you have been an example of strength. Seeing you so strong, makes me want to be strong, not only for you but for myself also. Thanks for the smile you put on my face and all of the love you show me. I miss you Pop, but most of all...I Love You. ♥
