A Year Ago....And A Suprise..

Please take a minute to read these post from the past. They are from a year ago. So many of you are new over the lat year to my blog..These post will help you see where we were and how we got here.

Just getting started..

A year ago today I had no idea how much my life would change. I went into surgery very naive and not at all prepared.

Wanna hear something..I am still not prepared. I think I had this feeling IF there was something wrong..I would handle it with Grace and Strength and I would SHOW cancer who was in charge. I do believe Cancer has shown me..I never would of thought a year ago I would be sitting here home from my treatment thinking about my scans due this month.

Has Cancer Won? Heck no. I will fight as long and as hard as it takes to put this behind me and our family. But I will never forget the message this past year has taught me...

Trust, Faith, Hope and I would like to think some Grace.

Today my DH remembered that today was a year ago that he found out I had cancer. He remembered that our lives forever changed a year ago today. I did not know he even remembered that today was THE day...and yet he did.

I opened up the door and the man handed me these flowers...His sweet card says it all...

A year ago changed our lives forever. I want you to know that we will fight this together and I will always be there for you. You are the love of my life and I never want to lose you. I love you....Forever and a day...

Thank each of you for being here by my side for the last year. I never could imagine this battle without all of you. I am so very blessed .

Thank you Jim for remembering today. It means more to me then you know.

I would love for you all to comment and yes that means you who lurk...lol

That is so sweet. Most men don't remember birthdays and anniversaries. Yet he remembered and reminded you that he was there for you.

How touching! The fact that he remembered the date and the words he wrote say it all.

Wow, you've been through so much this year. More than you probably thought you'd be able to live through. I'm still sending prayers up to our gracious heavenly Father who loves you more than life. I'm asking Him to send his peace and comfort to your family this holiday season.

Gosh Amy it's hard to believe it has been one year and what a year it has been. I just want you to know that you are responsible for a lot of us growing in faith, courage and patience. Just being a part of your journey has changed me for the better.

I truly believe that anyone who either has been a caretaker or the patient with cancer is changed forever. Our life as we know it will never be the same. I know my life has evolved into something I would have never dreamed of two years ago.

I am honored that you let me join you in your journey and I will continue to pray for Philip, you and your entire family.

Merry Christmas and a very healthy and prosperous New Year.

What a sweet husband you have! I'm sure that note and the flowers just made your day! He's a KEEPER, for sure!

Prudentia said...

I love you, my friend. And I love that sweet husband of yours, too.

Grace said...

I too remembered it was yesterday... I am a date person, and there were 2 things that rocked my world that day last year. One being your surgery and cancer diagnosis. Last year I said that you and Jimmy are 2 of the strongest people I know. You are both amazing and have the tenacity to fight and WIN this battle TOGETHER.

Now, I need your Jimmy to perhaps teach my DH a thing or two... may I borrow him? LOL
The love of your man and his perfect words on the flower card... simply wonderful.

Love you both and your whole family!

Charmaine said...

What a wonderful, loving, sweet thing for Jim to do, to remember "that" day and to let you know how much he cares, is just so awesome. I am so glad you both have each other.

You have had one heck of a year, I am sending prayers that 2010 is a year of celebrations for you and Philip and your whole family. Celebrations of cancer defeated, celebrations of Philip finding an answer for a pain free life, a celebration of good memories for the whole family. You have fought a very strong and couragous battle against this beast called cancer and I pray with all my might to the greatest healer of them all, our all mighty God that he rids you of this beast and that he heals the pain in Philip.
God Bless you and yours!

It must be just under a year that I have been reading your blog. And when I do, I pray for your family.

I live in British Columbia, Canada. I can't remember how I found your blog. Someone else I read must have mentioned you.

Jenny said...

Okay, hand me the tissues.

I am so glad your dear husband is there for you, and was thoughtful enough to remember.

Hi there, I just came here from April's Blog where she talked about the giveaway she won from you, and she mentioned about your cancer and hardships. I just want to give you a ((HUG)) Cancer is horrible, and I know this to be true, I saw it with my very own eyes. I saw what it can do. I'm so sorry you're going through that. No one should ever have to go through that kind of pain. Wishing I had a magic wand to rid this earth of pain.
