To be sure, since 2014, it's a difficult week as well. Because of this, I am a bit more emotional - to be honest - a lot more emotional.
On Monday
of Thanksgiving week 2014,
I had a mammogram.
On Tuesday
of Thanksgiving week 2014,
my doctor called in the early afternoon
to let me know that I had an
abnormal mammogram.
I told my husband,
sister-in-law
and my sister.
On Wednesday
of Thanksgiving week 2014,
we noted that it was 7 years since my mother-in-law's passing.
She passed the day before Thanksgiving.
Also
On Wednesday
of Thanksgiving week 2014,
I had a diagnostic mammogram.
The radiologist told me
there was no doubt that I had a tumor
located right next to the chest wall,
deep inside my left breast.
Because of the location,
he highly recommended that we go to
MD Anderson ASAP.
His kind technician
prepared the CD's that I would need.
Late in the evening,
on Wednesday
of Thanksgiving week 2014,
my husband and I left his office broken.
But, we had a Thanksgiving dinner
to prepare as we welcomed
to prepare as we welcomed
our family into our home.
And then
And then
for our journey ahead.
So, my dear reader, you may understand that this week I will taking a break from our Bible study of Philippians.
I'll still blog about sewing and such,
but our study will continue later.
I need time
to reflect,
to heal,
to praise God,
to give thanks.
And I know you understand.
And I love you for that.
Dear Friend, this is my truth.
Be Blessed!
Happy Thanksgiving!
What a challenge you have been through. Praising God with you that you are in remission. I hope you have a sweet time with your family and friends this Thanksgiving week.
ReplyDeleteIt was a fun time! It's hard to believe I've been out of treatment for a year! Isn't God good? :) We had a great Thanksgiving! I hope yours was wonderful as well!
DeleteI'm so sorry this is a rough time for you! It's a bit difficult for me as well, so I really "get" it. I'm so glad that it's been 2 years now, since those horrific events occured! It is completely understandable that you should need a bit of reflection time while these memories are floating through your head.
ReplyDeleteJust remember (and I know you do) how blessed you are to be slowly meandering down memory lane and all of the good things that, I'm sure, were also happening. (like your family {and God} wrapping you in their love and helping you through it all).
I hope you are able to enjoy the time with family and make better memories that overshadow those bad ones, my friend. xoxox
Yes! Like I've said before, you are a young lady with great wisdom! We had a fun Thanksgiving and are looking forward to Christmas! :)
DeleteAwesome accomplishments! So happy for you! Rejoicing with you in all that Abba Father through Jesus has given you strength to go through all that you have been through these past 2 years! Love you dearly
ReplyDeleteAmen my dear friend! Amen!
DeleteYay!! What a great week of progress! Love the beads on the leaves, that's a great touch!
ReplyDeleteRight? I'm so glad I started - and finished this project!
DeleteHope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Good luck with finishing up your November One Monthly Goal. Happy stitching this holiday season.
ReplyDeleteHi there, Kate! Thank you for commenting and please forgive my late response! I didn't finish my November OMG in time to link up to the finished page, but I did finish it and deliver it to my son! He loved it! Thank you so much for visiting!
