and, I
saw her yesterday. She's doing so well. I was terrified this weekend b/c I
hadn't heard anything from her mom or Erin, and I was thinking the worst.
Instead, she has had a wonderful weekend, and I hope this upward trend stays
the course. She looked wonderful when I saw her yesterday - we actually took a
walk (well, I pushed her) around the floor and downstairs to the main level,
which she hasn't seen since she got there. Big day, overall. Check out her blog
for more pictures and updates. I am SO proud of her.
Emotional day for me today - I think part of it's hormones, but I think another part of it is that I realized this morning that my brother's getting married next week. Overall, emotional for that because I am so happy for him. But, when I was diagnosed, this was one event that I didn't want to miss, and it pissed me off to think that this cancer could somehow ruin my brother's big day. And, now that it's here, I can't believe that I've made it. This is a goal that I set when I was first diagnosed (go back to my earliest posts, and you'll see that this is something I blogged about a few times), and it literally just hit me this morning that this is here.
So, I did it. I beat cancer and I WILL make it to my brother's wedding. I will stand up for him and Ashley, in front of friends and family. I will walk down the aisle with my husband and my kid and I will be there to support my family and celebrate this growing of our family.
And, I couldn't be happier about this.
Yes, I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. As I said, I'm emotional today (I also just finished looking at Kim's blog, so that isn't helping...), but I think this is a pretty big accomplishment. And proof positive, again, that I kicked colon cancer's ass.
I RULE!!!

I
am so excited for you!! I have a short list of things that I cried when I knew
I'd be able to do it, or while I was doing it. (I cried in the middle of my
triathlon.) Finally: happy tears from this ordeal.
