I love Easter. I love spring. Usually when it is Easter the flowers are all blooming and it is beautiful, so I am sad that Easter is so early this year. I check my flowers outside every day and can't wait until they start blooming.
It is simply unbelievable that it has been 10 months since I was diagnosed with cancer, 5 months since I had my mastectomy and hysterectomy, and 2 months since I finished radiation. Time just keeps flying by. Everyday that I am here, and stable, is a blessing. I didn't know if I would live to see another spring, and I am so glad that I am still here.
We had a busy Saturday. We do all of our Easter Egg Hunts and parties on Saturday so we can focus on Jesus and the Resurrection on Sunday. Never before have I felt such a profoundly deep gratitude for the gift that Jesus gave to all of us. The promise of being resurrected as He was gives me so much hope. There have been several women who have passed away from breast cancer that I have gotten to know through the website breastcancer.org. It breaks my heart that they are separated from their loved ones, but I take comfort in my knowledge that families can be together forever. I wish that everyone could have that peace and comfort from that knowledge.
Happy Easter!
