Today was truly a gift. To the friend that comes and cries on the couch with you (and comments on your roots), to another friend that has taken it upon herself to do drive by Starbucks every time she is in the area, to the amazing Cara who respects your choice to keep your 6’1”, 230 lb hubby at home, and will stand at your side as you do it knowing what she’s knows and knowing that you have no idea of what’s ahead. To yet another friend that brings her whole family to sing happy birthday to their gorgeous 2 year old granddaughter cause U had severe FOMO missing the party yesterday. To the sisters in law that will come to aid from a different continent and the the same one. To the wonderful young man that will come and spend nights here to watch Rob while I sleep upstairs, alone. To the amazing Facebook friend who wants to buy you the sleeper ottoman for said caregiver cause she saw your plea on “buy nothing” and most especially to the God of details that even added this young lady’s smile. I have been wooing on her for over a year from afar! The truth is that this day was really, really, really hard and I cried loudly in my bathroom and then spotted the lovely lavender scrub that “someone” dropped off with the real lavender plant and I hope that I one day will look backwards and say how hard it was and hope that these amazements are what I remember the most! Cheers to you all and cheers to the man who gave me everything he had to give including the son that will work from home so he can assist.
