Remembering

Both Sunday and Monday evenings we watched T-V programs memorializing the faithful sacrifice of the military in all past wars. They are true heroes. Several 80-year-olds in recounting their experiences of 60 years ago were still overcome with emotion. One summed it up, "Freedom isn't free." That's why we have Memorial Day--to remember! Lest we forget.

We had such a lovely morning with our breakast guests. They're thoughtful people who ask meaningful questions like, "What have you learned during these 2 1/2 years with cancer?" I replied that the biggest lessons have been about God (His faithfulness, His mystery, His sovereignty, His kindness). The second group of lessons was about people--so kind, so caring, so supportive. We are blessed.

After they left, I spent several hours of the day sleeping--again. I suppose the chemo pills are causing this fatigue. Today is the end of week one on the pills; I'll be glad to finish this round and test the cancer numbers to see what's going on.

I think I feel better today. I plan to work a few hours, and then this afternoon I'll get another iron infusion. I'll see if my nurse has any ideas about how I've felt the past 3 days.

Blessings,
Carol
