First Chemo Today
My family had a great, relaxing weekend together at the lake, but yesterday felt a little bit overshadowed by what we all knew was coming today: my Mom's first chemo treatment. As I fell asleep last night, I couldn't help but wonder if today was going to be one of Those Days that changes everything.I woke up with this song in my head today, and I know that it's for my Mom.
You can listen to the song here. Just ignore the stupid pictures that some random internet person put with it :)

Can't Give Up Now (Mary Mary)
There will be mountains that I will have to climb
And there will be battles that I will have to fight
But victory or defeat, it's up to me to decide
But how can I expect to win if I never try
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me
Never said there wouldn't be trials
Never said I wouldn't fall
Never said that everything would go the way I want it to go
But when my back is against the wall
And I feel all hope is gone,
I'll just lift my head up to the sky
And say help me to be strong
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me
No you didn't bring me out here to leave me lonely
Even when I can't see clearly
I know that you are with me (so I can't)
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
and I don't believe he brought me this far to leave me

Hey Linds,
I'm praying for your family through this whole "experience." I can't even listen to that song - I know it and I would be bawling at my desk. You guys are not "giver uppers" - you are a strong bunch. Please let me know if there is something I can do. Meals, hugs, prayers, cleaning, whatever - let me help with something that you guys just don't want to deal with right now.
Love ya
Mel
What wonderful words. Thinking of you and your fam today ... wishing you all as easy a transition into this new, temporary phase as possible.
I also can't listen to the song right now. I'm praying for your whole family and I will help out anyway I can as well. Just let us know and we'll have a team put together in no time.
*GIANT hugs*
Mel - Thanks so much. Your comment here felt like a great big Melanie-style hug this morning. I'll definitely collect on that hug when we can figure out a time to connect in person :)
Nicole - Thanks! It's helping us so much to think of this is temporary. Before we know it, it will be Christmas, and my mom will be free to begin her healing process.
Crystal - Anyone would be lucky to get to be a part of Team Crystal, hehe. Thank you. You've been such an encouragement to me and my family through all of this :)
