It's now 3.5 weeks since surgery and I'm feeling much better, I've been managing 1-2 mile walks daily for the last 4 days. Today I managed 3 miles. Going to try a little drive later in the week round the village too. All being well I can phase back into the office from next week, get back to Musical Theatre and dance classes and get fit. It has been one hell of a journey the last 21 months but I'm a survivor and I'm ready to take life by the balls. Roll on 2017 it's holiday year for me, I've got a lot of catching up to do. Also got my girlie fun weekend with zip wires and bounce below at zip world in Snowdonia. Spa days with family & friends and much more. Thank you to everyone that has supported me through this journey, Thank you for being my rock Tim, love you forever and always.

I recently received some terrible news. A college friend of mine has been diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma and began chemo treatment this week. The sucky thing about cancer is that it knows no rules. You never know who it might strike. You certainly wouldn't guess it would choose a vibrant 28 year old with two small boys who call her mama.... Back in the day, I used to see my friend Jessi 3-4 times a week through various Lutheran Student Fellowship activities, a Christian organization on campus, which we were both fairly involved with. Here we are circa 2005. Jessi is on the far left. To show my friend some love and support, I am sending her this chemo sucks lollipop bouquet. With her spunky personality, I am sure she will appreciate my attempts to lighten the mood. I debated on whether to say cancer sucks or chemo sucks, and I even debated whether "sucks" was an acceptable word in a home with young children. Ultimately, I decided that her fun loving spirit would appreciate a little comic relief. Afterall, a sucker bouquet in a sucky situation is mildly amusing. If nothing else, she'll know we're thinking of her. I believe in the healing power of prayer, so if you are reading this, could you please pause and take a moment to pray for my friend Jessi and her young family. Pray for healing. Pray for peace. And above all, pray that His will be done. Thank you Mischele p.s. If you'd like to make a similar display, feel free to copy this jpeg for personal use.
