Catching up in Our Daily Struggles
Life has a way of making one split in every direction at the same time till you don't have enough elasticity or slack left to stretch.
Our beautiful daughter has now recently turned 3 years old. She is definately shown a lot of change and progress since her last B-day. It's amazing how quickly the growing years of my daughter slip by so fast. Makes me wonder if this is how it felt for my parents or all parents, for that matter. As a kid, time seems to never move fast enough. Funny how double digits give you a different perspective in life.
My hubby has now been going through chemo for over a year. It's still a hard struggle to deal with on a day to day basis. We try only to look foward at the ultimate goal, to get healed. This summer looks to be the 1st that we don't go to the beach. Out daughter is at such a great age that I regret losing the opportunity to see her playing in the sand and ocean. Not to mention that I was planning to take Daisy (our beagle) to the beach for the 1st time. I could just see her making such a huge mess of her self. But then that's part of the joy of going to the beach , isn't it?
You get a room overlooking the beach and you plan on a day of fun. You come back to the room, shower to go eat out, then you come back to get the best sleep of your life. The sandy mess is left for someone else to clean up. Now that is the life.
Last time we went to the beach we got our usual room. Though it wasn't warm enough to really go out and play on sand, we enjoyed staying in our room playing video games while we listened to the sound of the ocean life around us. Very relaxing atmosphere, especially for someone who had chemo therapy to look foward to.
In the mean time we take one day at a time to survive, we enjoy and appreciate each day that extiguishes with each sunset, and embrace the challenges that life presents us.
