Wonderful day

Hi all, I've just had the most wonderful day yesterday. I just had to sprout about it to someone. It was my eldest sons 21st birthday yesterday ( that's him with me in my profile pic). Yet again I was worried as I'm trying to work plus getting over radio and chemo still. How was I going to manage. We woke him up at 6am jumping on the bed and planting him with kisses all over his face and then presented him with his presents. I made him breakfast and went off to work. He came and had lunch with me at work and then all the family went out for a wonderful dinner. It was such a special day. I'm so glad I am still here to see it, so looking forward to my younger sons 21st in a couple of years and hopefully many years beyond that. We organised a party at a venue on Saturday night as I just don't have the energy to put one on for him. Everything will be done so I just have to attend. We will have extras staying with us over the weekend too. It's going to be huge and I just hope I have the energy to participate in it all. It feels as though cancer has taken so much from me and my family in the last 8 months. Yesterday was the first day in 8 months that drs, procedures, treatments etc haven't been in the forefront of my mind. It was wonderful. I'm off to the hospital today for my next treatment, so it's back on the bandwagon again today. Will rest this arvo and tomorrow so hopefully I'll be ready to party. I'm tired but for once I'm tired because I did something I wanted to do, not just tired! I feel as though I'm through the worst of it all and things are getting better and easier, both physically and emotionally. Maybe it's just all the happy endorphins running through system at present but it is so good to feel completely happy that I'm running with it.
