Who ever knew that you could be lifted up by Kindergartners? I was fortunate enough to spend my morning with our two full day kindergarten classes doing fun math games to reinforce the concepts we are teaching them. I wore my wig for the first time this week and was so surprised when all the students started to compliment me. My favorite was when one of them said to me in shock..."your hair grew fast!" and when I said it was a wig they were shocked and said it looked like real hair. This helped me to stop being so self-conscious of this wig and know that these little friends of mine accept me for who I am and not what I look like! It was a fabulous morning and a great reminder why I still want to work even as this battle rages on in me!
Another wonderful surprise is that in my journal I have a list of my inspirations- those people in my life that are survivors of this cancer. Over the past few days it has grown again as people share their stories with me. This list is the one I go to when I am unsure of what will happen in the future! Their stories stay in my heart and keep my spirits high as I wait for the unknown but live life to the fullest each day. Thank you to all who have come before me and taught me how to fight!
