It's been 1 year and a day since Darell had his first chemo treatment. Where did the last year go? We are not sure, it went so fast but for us the results are what we hoped and prayed for. Friday night we went with some friend and their kids out bowling. We all had a blast. Hopefully Julie's back wasn't hurting her to much yesterday. We had partially sunny skies yesterday so we went for a drive. We went to Poulsbo. The town is obviously being effected by the bad economy but the bakery was still open so we had to get a snack. Next stop was the Naval Underwater Museum. Very interesting museum. David enjoyed looking at all the exhibits. We could find the Naval Museum in Bremerton. Lots of road construction and we didn't have the address, but that gives us another trip. David was happy to settle for going to Titlow park and playing for awhile followed up my pizza for dinner. This is quite a dramatic difference from what we did last year for Valentine's day.
Today when I read the paper I learned my second cousin had died last month from cancer. After calling my mom who called his sister we learned he had spinal cancer. He found out in December he was sick and died six weeks later. Gary was my dad's cousin so they are in good company with one another. It's always shocking to read or hear about someone you know dying. Just part of life but not always an easy part. Darell shared with me that at times like these he has survivor's guilt. That just goes to show you what a special heart he really has. Another friend of our lost his battle with cancer in October. Darell shared that he doesn't know what to say when we are with our friend's widow. I told him he doesn't have to say anything, just give her a hug, she'll know more from that then any words.
I know I have said it but I am saying it again. Enjoy everyday and make the most from that day. Always share your love with those that you love and that is enough.
By the way you should hear the laughter coming from my boys. They are playing together in the other room in the jumper. Silly boys....
