3 years ago today I heard the news that I could restart my chemo after my kidneys had failed. In some ways that now feels like a lifetime ago and in other ways it is just like it happened yesterday. If I hadn't restarted my chemo I probably wouldn't be here now. My journey has changed me so much. I had thought that by now, maybe I wouldn't think about it everyday but I do. My limitations both in my physical abilities and my energy levels mean that it is now part of who I am. I have to be constantly aware of what I can and can't do and that shapes both my life and my families life. However it also shapes me in a good way. I am so so grateful to be here and able to do so much. I still look for joy in each and everyday and find it. There is so much to be grateful for. Not least for the joy of being able to plan a wedding with Ed and my girlie. I am thankful.
This week - main event = first visit to wedding dress shops, last tutoring before the summer hols, sorting books for the bookstall at holiday bible club next week, coffee with friends, graduation ceremony with Chloe, flowers at church, Tour de France watching and my girlie moving to Kent. A happy, busy week.
