Today during Daddy's treatment at the Bone Marrow Transplant Clinic, Wendee and I had a "Changing of the Guard" and photo session. I spent the night last night and Wendee came to do tonight's shift. As Daddy and I were sitting in his apartment last night, enjoying Aunt Janie's awesome potatoe soup and watching some TV, it hit me that this time together is a true gift from God. Don't get me wrong Cancer still BITES, but it also causes us to slow down and really look at what is important in life. As you've noticed, if you follow this blog regularly, Wendee has done the majority of the blog entries lately....she's a trooper and I've been just a little overwhelmed by the everyday stresses of life. But as we were sitting last night, having a glass of wine and swapping stories I realized how precious this time together really is. How many times in life are we given an opportunity to put all the stresses and distractions of life on hold and sit and talk with someone we love, for an entire day. Daddy tells the BEST stories and every time I'm there I learn something new from listening to them. Through this experience, we've all learned the blessing of looking of the bright side in every situation and cherishing every second we are given with those we love.
So find someone you love and give them a BIG HUG! We're doing great in Dallas and Kickin' Cancer's Butt!
Love and Prayers,
TeeLee
