I remember so vividly December 29...Hello dear Pam. I remember so vividly December 29, 1987. Although it was unusual to "board" a patient the night before surgery, they did with me in part because I was scheduled for 8:00 a.m. and my doctor thought it important to have me there<BR/>because I was single(?). So there I sat in a hospital bed the night before a dreaded surgery<BR/>when suddenly my hospital phone rang. I was surprised to discover your dad and three sleepy,<BR/>bewildered girls were my pre-op<BR/>visitors. My diagnosis had<BR/>changed from in-situ to <BR/>in-situ plus invasive. I was so scared to face this new unknown and<BR/>a huge part of me didn't want your dad and you kids dragged into my problem--especially after the losses that he and you had been through. But there you all were,and in spite of this awful thing I had to face, you brought a bright light into my room that night. Little did I <BR/>know then that I would ultimately<BR/>marry your dad and love him, you<BR/>girls and your families<BR/>as I do now. Pam, you <BR/>bring a bright light into <BR/>every room you enter! It will<BR/>be blindingly bright after this difficult journey.

Denial is a word too often used. I think one can have calm , peaceful awareness instead. Strength and determination and unselfish love of our children can overcome anything.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
