I had dinner with a new friend tonight. I feel like Ive known her for years and years, not just a couple of months. She asked me how I was doing, wanted to know where my head was at. Surprisingly, Im right here. Living each moment, not sweating the small stuff, and absorbing everything positive coming my way. I would like to feel this same way Monday night, but Im a realist and am sure there will be pings of anxiety, but for now Im glad to just feel calm. I enjoyed dinner. Enjoyed the laughs and enjoyed the company. The simple gift of friendship has come to mean so much during this trial. When I got home tonight, my sweet Abby came right over and gave me a hug. She told me she loved me and said she had something for me. I asked her if it was going to make me cry. She smiled. She handed me a homemade card and the backside was signed by her classmates and her teachers. My eyes welled. I hugged my little girl tight. She then told me that on Monday her class is having a day for me. The kids are going to wear teal or black. My eyes welled more and I squeezed her again. What a gesture. For her, for me, for my family. I am humbled. There is so much good in this world. People genuinely want to do good...to do good for others. Funny thing about cancer....it always brings out the absolute very best in people. It brings us together....and thats not necessarily a bad thing. Ive promised to pay all of this forward. Im finding ways to do that, and I feel like a better person because of it. Because I, like you, want to do good, too. ❤️
