This isn’t a typical Old School post, because there’s nothing here about doing things the old fashioned way. Not today.
Instead:
Today is the Damsel’s five year anniversary of being cancer free. This is a big, fat, ginormous landmark for her and she’s just gotta post it here.
Five years ago this day was a blur of panic and pain. Typical for the Damsel and her tendency to be an overachiever, she had to get an especially nasty type of cancer. (although there are no nice kinds)
Feelings are all over the place about this. Lots of memories, some bad, some scary, some the Damsel would like to forget forever. But mostly, there’s feelings of thanksgiving. The Damsel is well again. Tomorrow the sprogs and grandsprogs will gather and there will be so, so much to be thankful for.
And thanks to you, dear readers, for helping make the days pass so pleasantly.
I wish I was there to bring over Cinnamon rolls! Happy Thanksgiving 5 years later!!!! THAT Means sprog 1 and sprouse are close to their 5 year mark! So many good things also…We learned a lot. We shared more, we grew together!
I’ve been reading this blog that I love for some time but have never commented, I just wanted to say Happy txsgiving and Horray for no Cancer!
thank you for holding my hand when it was so dark.
thank you! I’m so glad you are enjoying the blog.
Congrats Margot! That is so totally awesome. I am so very happy for you!
This is an odd coincidence- today is my best friend’s 6 year anniversary of cancer-free. Wishing both of you nothing but the best, today and in the many many years ahead!
Congrats, my friend! We love you!!!!!
I’m not a sprog, but thanks for letting me crash the cancer free feast tomorrow!!!
I’m thankful for every year that those dark days get further behind you, because that is another year forward of our friendship. And that means a lot to me. To illustrate why, let me quote from my favorite Kurt Russel movie, Tombstone:
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Why you doin’ this, Doc?
Doc Holliday: Because Wyatt Earp is my friend.
Turkey Creek Jack Johnson: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.
Doc Holliday: …I don’t.
Best Thanksgiving ever! I’m sooo happy for you!
Precious few friends like you, Chris. **hugs
