I Can Do It!
At the gym today, I thought of me and the kids taking pictures after chemo but before my surgery. The nice thing was: I saw it. I could visualize it. I saw them in my lap (well, the baby anyway. The boy is TOO big), goofing around, smiling. I even saw the baby tell another little child “My mommy is sick, that’s why she has no hair”. I saw my face, my makeup, earrings. I saw everything. I can actually see a bit further down the road. I’ve been a bit of a doom and gloomer lately. I guess because I was ok with dying, I expected it to happen quickly. So for me to see a future was astonishing and pleasantly surprising.
And let’s face it, I don’t hate anyone else enough to have them take care of the kids! LOL

Hello!
I’ve found you via a twitter search for breast cancer. I am recently going through it once again. My husband and I have started a little fundraiser on my site via twitter. You can find the details on http://allrosey.com. I don’t know if you’d be interested, but you seem to have a big following. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

Joede, don’t even think about dying! You are not the first person to have been diagnosed at this stage.
I was diagnosed with glaucoma in late 2004. The thought of being blind is scary, but is not one on which I dwell. Life is beautiful and as humans we have so much to see, not to mention enjoy. Even mundane things can be enjoyable when you have a sense of perspective.
God is with you and He loves you. Keep up your fine work at Black Pearl Creations.
