My Wedding 1989

Update from the cancer front.

In case you missed it. My friend got the news late Saturday night that the Path report was in. There was no invasive cancer anywhere in her tissue. There was no invasive cancer. Her doctor said, that’s it. No chemo needed.”

She told me last night, “Thank you for beautiful post on my health and recovery on Facebook. That made me cry. A Good cry.”

She also wanted to express her gratitude for the love and kindness from those who Liked & made comments. She said that the love and good energy makes all the difference and it was really appreciated.

I told her, “My message on FB was completely heartfelt. I’m glad it was a good cry. Continue to mock up being healthy, because you are!”

My friend belongs to a prestigious business community here on the Gold Coast and so I will keep her anonymous. She continues to keep a strong front for her colleagues, friends and family, especially for her beautiful young son.

We’ve been though so much together: grade school, jr. high, high school. We’ve celebrated the best of times being in each other’s weddings, and then the births of our beautiful children, a daughter for me and a son for her. But we’ve also been through the worst of times, our divorces, my mother’s suicide, very bad men and illnesses.

But let me just sum her up to our conversation we had last night. While she thanked me for that post, she was all about trying to help me solve a problem I’ve been dealing with. I love her!

She really is a big tremendous being.

I’m thrilled to know that we’ll continue to grow old together.
