My Heart is Full

This post is to thank all my very dear family and friends. Without all of your prayers,love, concern and support I couldn't have gotten through this past year; I truly mean that. I have never felt so much love in my life. My heart feels so full of love for EACH one of you. I am now three weeks out of treatments and I'm so glad that the year is behind me and I can get back into life again. I still have some effects of the chemotherapy; blisters on my face, infected fingernails and weird hair. I am caught off guard when I see people do a double take when they see me, then I remember how I look and just smile. Kellie said, "Mom, you should be proud of your battle wounds". Well, I'm not proud but I am sure glad that the cancer is gone.
I have learned a lot this past year. The most important being that I really do know that I am a child of God. The lyrics of a song ring so true to me:
"Right now I have a prayer deep within my heart
A prayer for each of you there is a special part
That you remember who you are and He who lives above
Please seek for Him and live his way
You'll feel his love
Walk tall, you're a daughter, a child of God
Be strong and remember who you are
Try to understand, you're part of his great plan
He's closer than you know, Reach up; He'll take your hand
This life on earth we knew would not be easy
At times we lose our way his path we may not see
But remember always that you are not alone
He'll take your hand He loves you He will guide you home"
Those words are very special to me.
I also can't express to all of you how dear Ron is. I love him so much. I couldn't have fought this battle had he not been my general.
My family is incredible, this includes my dear children, my twin, my sisters and brothers and sweet in-laws.
I have friends that are the best in the world, thank you for your encouragement and love.
I don't want to take any more of your time but thank you all so much. I love you, I love life, and now I CAN go and LIVE UP THE HOLIDAYS with a very thankful heart.
