One year ago my life was turned upside down. I was driving down to Boston in the middle of a rain storm ⛈ that was the remnants of a hurricane Florence when I got the call that my MRI showed a large tumor growing on and behind my sternum, and that the imagining also picked up on other worrisome spots on my vertebrae. This day, and that whole week is seared into my brain. But you know, 12 months later I am okay today. I still have cancer and I may be putting up with a lot of side effects, but I have got my kids, my husband, my family, my friends, and you, my community ♥️. You all have lifted me up, supported me in big and small ways, shown me love and comfort, provided me laughs, tears, and loads of swearing. Thank you 🙏🏼 for seeing me through the hard days. Thank you for continually being there for me. I didn’t know if I had strength to do cancer 2.0 but I quickly realized that I couldn’t do it alone or even by depending on just my family. I need you all! So please accept my gratitude and love 💕 in return. Xoxo 😘
