Two Letters

Today when I got home from work I and got two letters from University of Michigan cancer center about Allie's appointments. One a surgery and one her first meeting with her surgical oncologist. I kept the letters in the car. The cat had pooped in her bed and she was not pleased! (16 year old cat that forgot old age) Got home, washed the sheets and did not say a word about the letters. Instead, we talked about how much fun she had as a camp counselor for a special needs child. I did not once talk about work. Normally I would be at work until late. Instead, I came home, ate dinner and had a great conversation with Allie.

I planned all the dinners for our Disney Trip: French, Italian, sea food, etc... I was worried we would have to cancel. I have decided this will be good for Allie's healing process and we will plan everything around this if we need to. It is my full intention she is cancer free by August 1, 2009.

I have focused so much on the wrong things. What is important is to be in the moment. This is a hard way to learn it but I am glad I am learning it.

  1. Love you Bari! It's definitely hard to learn to live in the moment but it's those moments you'll always appreciate! You and Allie are strong girls. xoxox - Christina
