Two Years

So the two year "cancer free " milestone seems to have come and gone without too much fanfare. (I can't believe it's been two years!) We just may be a little superstitious about bringing too much attention to the fact - who knows...

And it took almost this entire time for Nanc to finally feel good again. What with the neuropathy still hanging on and the medications for that, it has taken a real balancing act and a whole lot of trial and error to get it all working together. We had one scary moment in the ER in December. But I think that experience really showed her where she needed to be putting more of her energies in her recovery.

Just the other day, we were discussing once again how our lives can change so dramatically in a heart beat. There we were, two years ago, in our little routine and enjoying ourselves for the most part. Then wham - just like that. Life has not been the same since nor do we think it ever will be. And not in a bad way either - but definitely in a richer and more meaningful way.

I've heard it said that pain is the touchstone of all spiritual growth. This would certainly hold true in this instance...

So thank you all once again for your prayers, your thoughts and all your help these past two years. We would not be where we are today without you!!!
