Today is the 6th. That means this marks an anniversary of sorts. Not that I am a nostalgic type person and certainly not for partial type anniversary dates, but Daniel was diagnosed 6 months ago today. Thinking about this kind of blows my mind. Some days it feels like a lifetime, others it feels like a minute. I guess depending if it has been a good day or a bad day. When people say take it day by day, it is true, sometimes it has been taking it hour by hour, and minute by minute when it was really bad but then there were the times that it has been really good that the hours drag and those we are grateful for. What strange times this has all been. Not that we haven’t made the best of our time. That I know we certainly have, bonding has gone to a whole knew level. The doctors and nurses comment daily on how Daniel has been a model patient in every sense of the word and how it is a joy to see how he and I are together. We truly have so much fun together every day and have grown so much together. Any of you that have teenagers- just imagine spending 24 hours a day with them in an 8 by 12 room. I can’t believe he still loves me. I can’t believe it is possible to love him any more than I do. He has conquered the unimaginable. He beat cancer in 6 months. He will have to continue to fight to rebuild his system and keep himself healthy for a whole tough year ahead and possibly the rest of his life but I know if he has gotten this far the way he has and will have no problem having the will power to get through the rest. 6 months and counting.
