Dear Sweet Lady ~
You look absolutely "beautiful."
xoxox
Thanks for the pics. Congratulations on your hair coming back and everything you've accomplished so far. Looking good, lady!
I hope you went out and celebrated, 'cause this was a MAJOR milestone girlfriend!!!!!! If you didn't, then you need to. I know you're not completely finished, but you've already been to hell and back, so you deserve it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buttercup
Oh yeah, you did it alright! Definitely time to smile!!
Yes Buttercup, I am celebrating, but not how I thought I would, and maybe not how you think. I am celebrating by finding satisfaction in simplicity, by pushing this body, by huffing and puffing walking this neighborhood, breathing in deep deep breaths and thinking yes yes yes, keep going, move past the pain, THIS IS NOTHING, after all I survived, THIS IS NOTHING.
I have said this before, every day I feel like George Bailey, running the streets of Bedford Falls, happy to be alive, happy to come home and see it with new eyes, among the people I love so much.
That includes all of you. My pep squad, my Angels.
Deepest thanks,
wgd
