My omission

One key omission in my lengthy blog update was my Momma. Several have asked in emails and it's possible that I have either not replied to your email yet (sorry) or forgotten to answer your question about my mom. The bottom line is that she is FINE now. She's already in her paradise (Florida) golfing and being the social butterfly that she is. On her last chemo at the hospital, they have some big bell-ringing ceremony where each cancer patient gets to ring the bell indicating they are through with chemo. That evening they celebrated in style with Lo and Susie and partners at a dinner and show place in Toronto. I think it's all quite amazing really. To think that I had nightmares of her being terminal in September based on the incorrect diagnosis of the prior year's mammogram. That there was hardly a complaint out of her mouth; even on the worst of days, she kept a positive attitude that the pain and weakness was short-lived. That to this day, I still forget she is bald cuz she hardly mentions it. That thanks to the many friends she has and my sisters, she was well looked after, transported, etc. etc. etc. throughout the whole journey. That thanks to the many amazing physicians, researchers, professors, etc. there is a CURE to breast cancer now.

Andrew and I continue to share what we are thankful for every night before turning out the lights. It goes without saying that I am so thankful for the above outcome. Last night, Andrew said, "I am thankful for the tomato and olive and cheese salad in the cantine (school cafeteria)"!!!!!!!!!!!!!
