Here I am at UVA’s Women’s game vs. Clemson! Score is 29-23 right now with UVA up by 3 with 45 seconds to go in the first half.
Here’s a picture of me and Hannah:
Here’s a picture of me and Marshall, taken by our favorite daughter, Hannah!
I can’t even begin to tell you just how wonderful it is to be here with my whole family. When I first sat down in my seat, my own tears surprised me, and I realized I couldn’t see the court for my eyes. It is amazing how I can be in the same familiar place time and time again, but never really and truly see it until a moment like this occurs.
Thank God for renewing eyes.
Headbands so become you! Who knew? You are beautiful inside and out. Blessings!
I have to say, I do have a new affinity for headbands. Who knew they could be so convenient, or so cute? Not me!
Your daughter looks like you (although I am sure that you’ve heard that before). I will look forward to seeing you at VFH event or elsewhere.
John – you can tell me how much Hannah looks like me anytime you want to! I will never tire of hearing it (although she may!) Thanks!
I am really speechless …. I am so happy you recover so fast !!
Thanks, Barbara! It has been quite a journey so far. I am realizing there is indeed a long way to go. I don’t think things ever will go back to “normal” for me. How could it? Life has changed in so many ways. But that’s okay. “Speechless” is a perfect kind of word here – it is hard to find words to describe the changes that are going on for me these days. There is just so much that can and must be transformed in circumstances like these. It is exciting. A bit scary. But mostly exciting.
Life is going back to normal. Great!!! You three look glorious.!!!
Fran, I love your upbeat way of facing your surgery, your recovery……..posting your pics, getting out and about. Blessings on you and your family as you heal. My prayers for you continue daily.
Thank you for your prayers, Joan. I have to admit I am generally pretty upbeat and it feels great. There are times when my energy goes down a couple of levels, but even that feels pretty good – most of the time.
Wow, Fran. It’s wonderful to see you out and about so soon! What a testament to skilled hands at work on a complicated medical problem.
Yes, it is pretty stunning to think about how adept my doctors have been in treating my cancer and helping me on my way back to wholeness and health. Skilled hands, skilled hearts. Pretty amazing.
I echo all the sentiments above. Seeing you out and about makes me very happy, too!
Thanks, Jeanne!
This makes me so happy! Seeing you all look so happy!
You are absolutely amazing! So glad that UVA won!!!
Wahoowa!! How could we lose yesterday?
So nice to see you and your family enjoying the game!
“Enjoying” is definitely an understatement! We had an absolutely wonderful time – all five of us!
Wow, you all look great! And what a great choice for a first outing!
I love these pictures!
I’m loving the pictures too, Janis! It was so fun to be able to take them and be a part of all that was going on.
I’m glad you’re out and about! And hey, you’re rocking the straight hair!
YOU are so kind, Beth! I have to admit, the straight hair thing is still hard for me, silly as it seems. I actually did take out the hairdryer today, but managed to stay away from what I think I shouldn’t have been doing. Mostly, I just spilled water all over myself and then dried it off. It felt like I was doing something I wasn’t supposed to be doing. Heh heh.
beautiful family… beautiful you
I am definitely doing to do a “beauty tips for cancer patients” post soon. So tongue-in-cheek for anyone who really knows me. But we cancer patients are a beautiful bunch – and someone needs to say it!!
