It is still to be determined as to whether she will feel well enough to go tomorrow. Maybe just part of the day? I can tell you one thing...I hate waking her up in the morning when it is still dark and knowing that she just had chemotherapy. It makes me feel horrible. The girl needs sleep. Tardy is still better than not going at all.
One small little note: Today is my Grandma Josie's 90th birthday!!!!! (my mom's mom) I just got off the phone with her (she lives back in PA) and she is a remarkable lady. I so wish I could have been with her today...and I would have if my daughter was not in this condition. And my Grandpa is 92! And they live in the same house they always did. I aspire to have this life and hope my genes are good like theirs.
The picture of today is our tree...lights, then ribbon, then ornaments. (70% of which were given to me by my Mom resulting in hours of tears by me while putting the tree up...but it is up) I keep telling Jerad it is leaning a little too. Darnit! Gotta go get on that now.....
Thanks for the prayers and all your support.

I have been absent the last couple of days, but have kept you in my thoughts (always). Ally went to school, huh?? How awesome is that!? The honeymoon may temporarily end, but keep reading back through your journal . . . it is always temporary. The highs are there to get you through the lows. Just remember-- the lows are temporary. You are doing great Janel!

Christmas tree ornaments mean so much in our family, as well. Very painful to put up, but good for the soul. I will post my blog picture of our tree and our Hallmark memory of my mother-in-law that passed away as well. Good memories, just hard, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteYou are doing a remarkable job and so is Ally. These good days will give you the strength you need to get through any rough ones coming. The tree is awesome!!!! Mom is very proud of you and what you have done. Try to smile when you look at the tree and remember all the good things. Good luck the next few days--hang in there. Happy birthday Grandma Josie!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBob keeps telling me our tree it leaning too! I just tilt my head slightly to the right when I look at it and it is fine!

i'm hoping that today Ally feels okay, if not better. She was a busy girl yesterday. oh, and maybe if you take the photo from another angle, the tree won't be leaning....
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Christmas tree, Jammer. I hope Ally feels better today and gets to go to a little more school. It sounds like she makes everyone's day when she shows up! Thinking of you always, Alli
ReplyDeleteTHE TREE IS BEAUTIFUL as always! Just gorgeous. I'm so happy ally's been able to go to school and participate. That is such good news. Happy b-day to Grandma Josie - she's such a sweetheart. I know you miss your mom...praying for you. Love you tons...
ReplyDeleteGood job on the tree! I know it was hard, but what a blessing to have so many special ways to remember your mom in your everyday life. Think of all the planning she must have done for all of those years to make sure you would have traditions like your birthday cake, porch pots and special ornaments to help you celebrate good times with your family and remember those with her as well. Love and hugs my sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt's Friday. Thinking of Ally and the PEG shots. Hope all goes well today and that the pain is not too unbearable (to feel or to watch). Jenny
