Mom and Al left today to go to Kingston and spend the night. She has her second round of chemo tomorrow and they figured it would make more sense (and be less stressful) to go up today and spend the night in a hotel instead of getting up and leaving at 6 in the morning. Really, Mom is tired. But she is more ready for this round than the first and (hopefully!!) it won't be half as hard. She knows she is in for a rough week or more.....but we are definitely holding on to the belief it won't be as bad as last time.
It seems unbelievable that this has only been on the go for a little less than 2 months. How is it possible that so many lives can be changed over one thing - a thing we can only imagine, can't see. How the mindset someone has had for 70 years can change so dramatically in less than 60 days.
I am sorry this is short. I have two kids insisting on painting at the coffee table and a husband who is on the phone so my attention is divided - not only refereeing the painting chaos but answering all of Eric's questions (cripes...*I* should just talk to his brother!).
Hope everyone is well. I'll post again when I hear something from Mom.
Best wishes!

Tanya you may not remember when we met in school but I was at the tail end of my journey with my mom.My mom's journy lasted 10 years.That 10 years changed my life.You look at life in a different light. You see strength in people that you would never except to see.Its a roller coaster of emotions that never ends.Some days you feel nothing is going right and other days are the best days you have ever had.The love your family has is a true gift that so many people never experience.I just want you guys to know I'm thinking of you daily and I would like to help you any way I can. Your time together to so valuable, there is no right or wrong way to deal with cancer. Just please remember there are people out there who don't mind if you ask for help I'm a phone call away and my thoughts and prayers are with you.
