Driving home from Houston right now. Scans are all clear. Happy day!

This is how we do cards, my husband and I, always.

Initials on the card, placed on the pillow usually in the evening of the special occasion. It’s one of our rituals. I know from my masters program in marriage and family therapy that rituals are important in a marriage. They bond us, remind of us that we’re special to one another and bring us security. I love a hand written card, it is truly a gift. Hand written words on paper never ever fail to nourish my soul. Seeing an envelope on my pillow with my initials (all 3 letters no less, now that I’m married and get to have 3 instead of 2, having grown up with no middle name) from my husband makes me deliriously happy. This is our thing. My husband also happens to write lovely notes to me and these are gifts I treasure.
Whatever you’ve done today, I hope you did something nice for someone else or that you’ve been on the receiving end of someone’s kindness. Most of all, I hope you take any ordinary day, and show someone your love, share your spirit and drink in the small moments because every day is a blessing and we all need to feel loved.
I head to Houston on Wednesday the 18 for scans- it’s been 3 months since the last ones and I will go every 3 months for the foreseeable future. I meet with Dr. Javle on the 19th to get the results. I have major worry. This scan seems pivotal for some reason. I guess since I’ve been off chemo for 6 months, I am nervous to see if my body is able to stand on it’s own in health or not. I would prefer to have someone drug me, do the scan, get the results then have Charles give me the info. Alas, that isn’t how it will go down.
I will update the blog as soon as I know the results. Prayers are always welcome.
That’s it for tonight! Nite, nite.
