Three Days left

Not sure I will have time to post this weekend but wanted to share a few things. Last Saturday, the boys woke me up with breakfast in bed! They were so sweet. As I finished and walked downstairs, I heard Wes lovingly talking to them for the first time about my surgery. I cannot explain how hearing this made me feel. My sweet husband telling my children I have cancer, a boo boo inside that needs to be taken out. I will be in the hospital a few days and that mommy was going to be ok, but sore for awhile and not able to pick them up. Ashton asked if he could get it which we expected. Otherwise they responded perfectly. They don't seem worried about me and are excited about grandparents taking care of them. How thankful I am for the perfect man God has given me. Ashton's teacher Donna also reminds me of how God knew that wes and I would go through this together and has prepared us for this. She said our love would grow deeper, as her husband and hers had. What a blessing I have to have these special women who are survivors in my life! Kate's friend sent me a text this morning too. I have so many people sending cards, calling and texting and emailing. Most of all, so many are praying!! I spoke to the head of the breast navigators yesterday and a friend of my mom's who works at Northside has told "the best of the best" to expect me. haha

I had my preop last week. Again, I was so emotional entering the parking deck. I have been to the women's center so many times the past 5 years for my children's birth, lactation help and my friend Kate's children's births. It seemed so strange to be entering the same building but going towards the breast care side. Everyone again looks at me oddly because I am so young. However, I still am feeling so positive and humbled by God's mercy.

Last Sunday, our class all wore pink and signed a banner and made me a fight like a girl wreath. They showered us with prayer and giftcards. On my last day of work, my whole office crew came into my office at the end of the day to present me with a large basket of goodies for recovery. I continue to be so so humbled. I have gotten cards from people I don't even know! My mom's work has made a large donation to Susan B Komen for me, Wes' cousin and a student are running races in my name. My sweet cousin has set up a meal rotation for us and everyone is trying to abide by our allergy rules! Our neighbors cut our grass this week and Wes' students start next week. A cleaning lady called me today that Wes' band parents have set up. I could go on and on but I just want to write this down for my children to read one day how blessed we were and how God's people take care of us.
