At the Fairly Odd dinner table tonight, as we celebrate Oma’s (my mom’s) 65th birthday:
Oma (talking to her grandchildren), “Look; there is a six and a five on my cake!”
Jilly (5-year-old grandchild), “Wow. I thought you’d be dead by now!”
Please pass the wine.
It has been less than 24 hours since surgery, and my Super Woman sister-in-law is already out of the hospital. Things look very good for her, and I am so very thankful for this. I am also thankful for the lovely notes you all left here, as well as for the unspoken thoughts, prayers and good wishes you sent her way.
You may
say a prayer,
chant,
wish upon a star,
throw salt over your shoulder,
blow all the seeds off a dandelion,
meditate,
cross your fingers and toes,
blow a kiss to the wind,
or
just keep her in your thoughts.
My young, lovely, vibrant sister-in-law is undergoing a double mastectomy today to remove the cancer that has invaded her body and upended her life. She is strong and ready for what is ahead, and I know you can help raise her spirits by keeping her close to your heart today.
