Well, here it is “Finally Friday” and I’m not so sure I have snapped out of “I don’t want to talk to anyone because it’s Monday” mode, yet. But maybe the long holiday weekend will help.
I’ve been doing a bit of reading this week. In my email update from Alrighttit.com, I ran into this blog which is written by a woman who has unfortunately just passed away.
I think Ellie’s blog is hugely insightful. She was in her late 20’s and suffering from secondary breast cancer, talking about treatment and how she felt having to realize her life would be much more brief than she wanted or expected.
Reading through her posts was very enlightening because they were so thought-provoking, making you feel like, in the same situation, these were thoughts or questions you’d have also. Ellie was able to say exactly what was on her mind.. her fears, her treatment, her thoughts about her diagnosis, and how cancer is arbitrary and not a punishment for some act in your life that caused bad karma.
She left behind and a loving fiance. They were just a few weeks away from getting married.
It made me appreciate the value of being alive and able to read her words in the company of my husband and daughter, who mean so much to me.
On another note, we are still waiting for USCIS to approve Ian’s 10-year greencard. We’ve reached the 6-month anticipated approval date. Hopefully, there is some news soon, although it’s not a huge issue. He has a one-year extension that expires at the end of bbwbbwbbwbbwbbw精彩, so approval before then would be nice.
Have a good weekend, people.
