A year ago this past March my dad was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer. The prognosis was not good, the paperwork we were given said he would have about 3 months to live without treatment, 6 months with treatment. My dad is now 82 and they live over 500 miles away. Today, approx 18 1/2 months after his diagnosis, I just finished redding up the dishes from lunch and I'm sitting here watching my parents as they sit together on the back porch, feeling a nice breeze and watching the birds as their new puppy plays around their feet, and they are talking and appreciating this day. Daddy is frail and sick alot but this moment is good and I'm so thankful.
Thursday my son graduates basic training, he was recommended for the Rangers but is not going to join them, he didn't sign up for the infantry. But he is so proud of his accomplishments that he is bursting at the seams. I didn't want him to go to the Army but he is so excited and happy and for that I'm truly thankful.
Friday one of the engineers on my program was let go, someone who has been there longer than I have. There is the possibility that this will lead to more travel for me for work in the upcoming months which I just dread but I have a job, a good job and for all it's stress, in the wake of what's been going on I'm thankful for having my job.
These are just such wonderful days for me, I know God lives, in adversity as well as sweet times. But I'm thankful that right now I have the opportunity to be in the middle of a very precious day in deed.
Peace!
Suzanne
