tomorrow the first of many

Well I will start my radiation treatments tomorrow an 10:05am. No I wont glow, yes I can be around small children and babies. I am not worried about the treatments themselves. I just really really want it to work.
I still wake up and for a few minutes it is like every other day and then I remember the BIG C. I actually have to talk myself through all the reasons everything is ok today and then I can get out of bed. Some times I can go hours and forget. That is thanks to my friends and family.
Then there are the time's I am over come with sadness for what MIGHT or COULD happen. I watch Dan in our evening routine that we both know and love so much and then I imagine me not in the picture. That just overwhelms me with sadness. I look at Dan in his favorite chair after a day of work telling me about his day. Saying funny things and making up weird possible story's with a funny outcome. I don't want him to come home to where he is alone. That he has no one to come home to. I know that this is vain imaginations and I just need to not entertain them. I am just being honest that they happen.
I was with Rachael at the store today and I had a couple of sharp pains in my right breast. For awhile I had forgot about it. I was having fun with she and Rylan. Then just a quick jab, jab and that little Adrenalin burst comes and says you have cancer.( I did not mention it to her) I dont want to miss trips to a store with Rachael, survivor night at Kail and Dans home. Listening to a new song with Michael. Hearing all the stories of what my beautiful grand children can do OR DID. I want to be here for it all.  
  Psalm 91:4, He will cover you with his feathers. He will shelter you with his wings. His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

 I need to never lose track of the fact that the Lord has me covered with his wings. He knows all my hopes and dreams.

  1. Cris....I LOVE the photo, how incredibly appropriate YOU are the one on the right....the one who is cuddled so close and covered so well, you can barely see her :)

  2. I too love this photo. It's says you ALL over it. Being birds, a mama and her babies, beautifully colored and surrounded in greens. DON'T EVER hold back on me... I'm so bummed you didn't say something earlier.... I won't get mad at you though. Just don't do it again. Okay?
    You mean to much to the world to go too early. Everything is the way it's suppose to be. Whether it's what anyone of us want for you or not. You're going to save someone else's life because of this third round. I just know it!
