MRI #21
Good morning all my supporters and prayer warriors. I just got back from the clinic and another good MRI. I have been so blessed with so many wonderful months. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart. Your support and prayers have truly made a difference. The other day I stood at my kitchen sink cleaning tomato's as a cool breeze touched my face. I got goose bumps thinking that I have been blessed to see three falls and make salsa once again. These tasks are so rewarding and special for me.
I start my last cycle of chem today. The treatment's go pretty good for me, again what a blessing. After this months treatment as long as the tumors stay away I will not have to have chemo (yeah).
What am I doing? Well do what I can in the mornings, sleep and/or rest in the afternoons. Then the evenings I run with Drew and Keeley as they are picking out things for the home they are building (thanks guys for letting me be a part of that). Or sit with the neighbor's and enjoy this great weather.
We still haven't got back many of the wedding pictures yet. I will leave you with a few that we do have.
God's love and grace to all.

September update
As I begin to write another entry, I find myself searching for words. It's not that I don't have things to share it's how to put them into words. As many of you know our daughter Holly was married on Saturday. It was a magical day for us, to be surrounded by our family and friends, to share the joy of seeing our daughter so happy and marrying such a wonderful man. Steve and Holly put together a wonderful wedding and reception. I was surreal to me, and reminded so many times that day how blessed I was to be able to experience that day with them. Also reminded of what family means. So many of the bridal party, aunts, uncles and cousins pitched in and helped in so many ways. It reminded me that "it takes a village" and that she is loved by many. She may be our daughter but many experiences with family and friends have made her the woman she is today. and how important it is to be surrounded by all of your love and support. Without all of you in our lives it would not have meant what it did. I can't help but think of all of the weddings, our sons, nieces and nephews and hope that I can help the way all of you did.
I will share a few pictures that I have. But will have to wait for the professional pictures to really share the beauty of that day.
I have been feeling great, one more week of chemo later this month. If my next scan is ok I will be done with the treatment plan for my last tumor.
It will be 3 years next Tuesday that I was diagnosis with terminal brain cancer. The life I have had and shared in 3 years has been amazing. I have been blessed.
God's blessings to all
Sue
