Over my last few years of chemo I have had friends, family and even new friends step in to help with things that just years ago seemed so easy. In my healthier days I loved hosting the Holidays in our home with friends and family which can be a lot of work (with help back then too). I always felt like I would go on to follow in my grandmothers footsteps, she always hosted the holidays and made sure every person that came felt like they were part of the family (if you were a surprise guest it didn’t matter she always thought about it in advance and had extra gifts for surprise visitors – Christmas). I always loved entertaining in our home so when my health came crashing down and my energy was taken away it made things almost seem impossible. However, thanks to friends and family I can still enjoy something that I love so much in our home!!!! Nancy, took charge this year and has coordinated with everybody coming over making it super easy for me (not the first time she has done this). Soooooo….. I know I have a lot to be thankful for and going through this has only made it that much more evident.
Also… A bonus… when you lose part of your hearing and your tired you can turn your head on your side (good ear against the pillow)… Silence , lol.
So thank you to every person in my life or I have met along the way that has been in my life personally or supported me with JH
