It was VERY important to Layni that she get to see me at chemo. Every week she pleaded with me to skip school to go to chemo with me! I resisted because I wanted to spare her the unpleasant task of watching people receive their weekly dose of suffering. Yet she persisted... so for my last chemo, Ricky picked the girls up from school early and they came to meet me at chemo. I am glad that they came, because I feel it is important that there are no secrets about what goes on inside the story of my cancer and treatment. So, no matter how difficult or how painful, it is best they see and know the truth. Most importantly, they got to witness my tearful good bye to my chemo nurses, Tracie and Sara. They are learning the value of trusted relationships and what true dedication is.
Today Blanche and Matt ran the Race for the Cure in my honor. I love you both... thanks. My camera died out before they ran.
