Thanker's Block

All day long, I've been trying to think of how to properly express everything I'm thankful for this year. 


I give up. I can't do it.


I can't find the words because there are no words.


I've never felt unloved in my life, and I know how very blessed I am to be able to say that. But — I've never felt more loved than I have this past year. 


And — it's ridiculous to even try to define the people who have held us up throughout this journey. Family, friends, caregivers, neighbors? Labels are insignificant. So many people gave so much of themselves, and sometimes when — and from whom — we'd least expect anything.


And, I will carry every last little bit of that goodness with me always.


Thank you.





CHARLESTON, NOVEMBER 2009: Mr. J snapped this pic of us. He probably won't like that I posted it, what with that fuzzy, chemo-hair, wind-induced-Mohawk he's sporting. I don't care. We look happy. We look strong. We look like survivors.

I do a little happy dance every time I get a comment. Please, won't you contribute to that geeky deliciousness?
