1 down 5 more to go!

Today was mom's 1st treatment of chemo and she handled it like a champ :) We got to Southern Regional at 7:15 and was admitted and in the chemo room by 8 something. Chemo is a very long process and it takes so much from everyone. At Southern Regional they treat their chemo patients like friends and it was so nice.

I have a website for mom and I said on hers if you ever need to be humbled just go and sit on the oncology floor and that statement is so true. As, I sat there this afternoon after they had severed lunch & all the patients had fell asleep I just looked at each one of them one by one & wondered why are they there. I mean I know why they are all there they are cancer patients but, what I mean what kind, how long have they lived with it, do they have any family, how did they find out? What is their story???? I then found myself quietly looking at each one of them and praying for them, their health and their family.

Now, I know to some that might not seem like much all I did was say a prayer for them but, that is all I can do for them. That is my way of helping them. I said when my mom told me she had cancer my life flashed before my eyes and they did. I thought wait hold on she hasn't seen me get married and have kids and she is suppose to be here for that! Who else will I argue with about what dress I like or if I want to wear my veil in my face or not (those who really know me will know who funny that comment is). All I can ask is that people pray so why wouldn't I do it for someone else.

If I learn one thing out of this it is that when I tell someone that I will keep them in my prayers and thoughts I mean it. Ask me to pray for you and I promise you I will lift you up in prayer everyone morning, night and every moment I think about you in between.
