Support My Friend

Prayers and support for my friend. You know it seems everywhere you turn now you hear of friends and loved ones who are being faced with cancer. My friend Kristal in the Houston area has been diagnosed with cervical cancer. We have a blog started for her. I'm hoping if you still check here every now and then.. because I'm not as good at writing as I was that you will give her the same love and support you have given me. I'm not sure I wouldn't have been as strong as I was not having your support on my blog. Please check out Kristal's blog. www.thumpermoments.blogspot.com thank you for your continuious support and prayers. For me.. We are blessed that our new OMG business has taken off like it has keeping us very busy but enjoying the kids so much and they are keeping us young. :-) Well I like to think so.

Houston Friends

Dear Houston friends.. all of you.. I just want you to know that you too are blessings in my life. Although we don't see each other very often.. actually hardly at all.. you are still there for me and I'm so lucky to have you in my life. I hope you know i'm here for you as well.. Thank you for being you.. I love you.

Whirlwind

Sorry I haven't been here in a while. been so crazy busy.. not much time to stop and smell the roses.. but then again, the roses are right under our nose. Our kids at our new OMG gym are fantastic! They keep us feeling young and we are having so much fun. Living the american dream.. living my dream.. that is what life is about. I'm thankful daily for the gifts in our life and even those wake up calls we get but sometimes ignore.. I'm feeling great. I don't have another follow up appointment until January. I have very little time to focus on worrying about cancer. I did recenlty watch letters to God and oh my.. I definately cried.. but it was healthy to do so. :-) reminded me of something else I want to do so bad and that is visit those kids in hospitals.. when I will find time, not sure need just a few more months to get organized and will give it another go.. may all of you see your blessings in front of you. Love always. Debbie

Goodbye Mom

Sigh. I'm sad but happy. Mom passed away on Monday, July 26th. She has been sick for sometime and she was truly tired. She is in a much better place now and can see (she was blind) and I know she will be watching over us. I can't remember a time, if ever that I was involved so heavily in funeral services.. but realize how important it is to have e.v.e.r.y. detail lined out.. to make things easier on the family. We were close to having everything prepared but then came the tiny details and then trying to include everyone's way of saying goodbye (songs, poems, letters, etc.) I've been pretty strong through this all but expect to crumble at some time or maybe just sleep a few days, that would be nice. I've been overwhelmed and overjoyed at all the people we have seen the last few days. Mom is smiling from heaven. Funny, she was afraid she wouldn't have anyone at her funeral. I'm sharing one of my favorite pictures I found of mom. Remember how precious life is my friends, if we open our eyes... we have DAILY reminders. God Bless.

Who Knew!!

Celebrate Good Times .... come on!! SO, Dr. visit went GREAT.. he told us that we hit the 2 year mark and that for cancer patients is a huge milestone! Who Knew.. It seems if cancer is to show it's ugly head once it's been found and treated it is VERY likely for it to do again within that 2 years. he told us we needed to celebrate.. well, for those that know me.. I'm celebrating all the time.. lol. heck.. just finished celebrating my birthday from February.. (just kidding) but ya know me.. However, after we got the news and walked out the door I started crying. Then Curt went off to work and I sat in the car and not just cried.. i was sobbing.. you know where you take those lil short breaths trying to get control of yourself. WHY.. I don't know.. tears of joy, relief, thankfulness, 2 years of worrying every 3 months.. I dunno. I got over it and with swollen eyes and all did a little shopping.. cuz dats what we do right. Curt wanted to throw a party but it seemed to quick.. and I was still a little down/up.. so i don't go back to see him till January.. that's a long time.. but i feel pretty good about it. well, real good about it. I thank all of you who have kept us in your prayers. Let's never stop praying for our friends and family. And remember to enjoy every moment in our lives. God bless you all. And I'm not done writing.. i'll be back to post.. probably just not daily.. lol.

It's that time again.

Well I go this week for my CT Scan.. then following week Dr. Visit. I'm in my typical anxious mode.. I've made my 2 year mark and what a blessed 2 years it has been. Never been a dull moment and living an amazing dream. I'm thinking if he sticks to what he told me last time and all is good from this visit.. we will be making a visit every 6 months. That would be pretty sweet but I just like knowing every 3 months.. regardless I pray for a good outcome and many more good years. Hope all is well with those who are left reading my blog. God Bless.
