Bliss

Two years ago about this time of day I was laboring hard to bring this beautiful girl into our world.


Happy 2nd Birthday Lucinda Beckwith Rickart Webb!


You are the light of my life and once again the best work I have or will ever do. I love you very much. Mama

Almost

Last Tuesday the 12th of December I had my last radiation treatment. That means I am done with all of my cancer treatment. I have minor outpatient surgery on Tuesday to get out the port-a-cath they put in to administer my chemotherapy. Then I will really really be done. It seems I should be feeling pretty good, excited even being done with my treatment, but I can't quiet let myself feel that way, yet. I have to get through Tuesday alive and well. Get the alien implant out I carry around in my upper right chest. Then and only then will I feel DONE!

Innocent enough

The other day I was talking to our accountant on the phone about the up coming tax season. I happen to mention that I had been battling breast cancer this year. A little later after I had hung up the phone Lucy looked at me and said "Mama breast cancer." It was needless to say sobering. Three words that I wish she never had to say.

Things that make you hummmm

Today I was on my way to radiation treatment and I passed a guy, you know the one with the shopping cart full to the brim with aluminum cans, garbage bags hanging on the sides bursting at the seems with more. He was talking on his cell phone.
