A year ago today, 12/9/13, I can recount pretty much the entire day. I dropped off Kelsey at school like any other Monday. I went straight to yoga led by my friend, Regina. Brooke was there, too. She and I chatted after class. I changed in the locker room then went straight to tennis. The phone call Ken and Id been waiting for finally came. It wasnt what I wanted to hear. I was a wreck. My poor tennis friends had no idea why I was crying. So, I told them. Loren offered to drive me home to be safe. I said, No thank you, I will be okay. I immediately called my brother John and asked that he please meet me at home. Loren followed me home, just in case. I had time to calm down before John arrived at our house. He tried to talk me out of driving to Kens work in Coronado, 40 miles away. I drove anyway, I had to. Id never surprise visited Ken at work. I can still see his big, bright smile in my minds eye as he saw me walk through his office door. I smiled back. We greeted each other with a kiss. I led him to the couch. We sat. Our eyes met and held. We paused. Big breath. I mustve had a worried look on my face. He said, No. I nodded my head yes. He louder said, NO!. I nodded yes again. He then showed the same emotion I did earlier on the tennis court. I dont think my heart has ever sunk lower seeing Ken like that but I had to be strong, at least during those first few minutes. It has been a crazy year since the day I was given my breast cancer diagnosis. Ken has been amazing not only with that but also Kelseys spinal surgery in January then her accident in October. We KNOW we could not have endured this past year without the loving support and prayers from family and friends and people weve not even met. We have yet a long road ahead but we will pull through. Ciara and Kelsey have been through so much and I love how great they have been, and so sweet. Words could never really match how deeply grateful and humbled we are by the kindness of others to see us through. People thought we were crazy when we agreed to take Sir Isaac Newton into our home after Kels had surgery in January. But that sweet boy has been a true blessing to us. Our family and friends have been true blessings. We want to return that kindness every chance we get. We love you guys and cant thank you enough! Heres to better days ahead! We love you!
