Having the support of loved ones is the most amazing feeling. My parents were right there this weekend cheering me on as I completed my first triathlon. The boyfriend stayed right by my pokey side as I mosied along through the course. My goal was to finish and I did.
Yesterday was another big day in the life of this girl. In June I found out that those pesky little *C* cells were back. It's nothing new. I've been going through this for 9 years. Yet, tears filled my eyes realizing that the 5 year clock was being rewound. There are also a number of other worries. More procedures = more scar tissue. More scar tissue is never a good thing in that area.
Anyway, the first round of procedures was done yesterday. My mother and the boyfriend were right by my side. I didn't ask them to come. They were just there. My father was waiting when I got home and my brother and sister checked in. Some of my friends called, his parents called, and a couple of his friends called. It really makes this time so much more tolerable. Because there are certainly times when their strength is needed.
Just as the doctor offers a child a lollipop at the end of a good visit, the boyfriend decided that I should have ice cream. There were no arguments from this chickie. At the end of the day, the boyfriend was right there with me. I think, life isn't good. It's really great!
