I've been doing a lot of thinking the past few weeks...
thinking about what it means to be a strong woman, a good wife and a good mother.
over and over people keep telling me how strong and brave I have been throughout my treatment, how amazing it is to be going through what I am going through while working and being a mother and wife.
My response has always been the same - I do it because I have to. I can't stop being who I am just because I have cancer.
But last week, something changed...
last week I actually became the strong woman that so many of you see in me.
Last week I finally left my job.
It has been a long time coming and I still can't believe that I put myself first.
I put my children first.
I put my husband first.
No one can fully recover from a life changing illness when she is constantly worried about how taking the time away from her job to heal will affect people.
SO... after finally having that revelation, I made the change.
and I have to say that once my head finally cleared I feel so good.
work opportunities have come my way and I am so happy to be open to them. I am truly looking forward to beginning a new career at a place that values the whole person (cancer and all that comes with it).
I have spent afternoons with Michael, and Andrew is sweeter than ever.
and Dan...
I think he is finally starting to recognize me again.
I told you that I have high hopes for this year...I can see them starting to come to fruition.
It's not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.
