Today is Sunday. I awoke with a cold. Big surprise~ right?! Not that I may be a bit stressed or worried about what is to come. And, feeling sad that my last day of work(for a long time) was yesterday. I am so blessed to have a job & career that i love. I will miss delivering babies & caring for families! I am taking all of my usual remedies to lessen the severity & shorten the duration of this cold. Susan, Theo & I went to The East Beach Grill for my favorite breakfast; wheatgerm pancakes! yum! Even though it was chilly & foggy the pancakes were perfect.
Theo & I went to see "UP"~ what a sweet film. The story of Carl Fredricksen & Russell, the wilderness explorer, & their adventures in south America, in Digital 3D was a tonic for my soul.
I reluctantly picked up my Pre Chemo meds from the drug store. And, then, it hit me. My life as I know it is about to change~ in such a huge way! It is such a challenge for me to wrap my head around the entire concept. I feel that when I talk about "Sydney having cancer' I am speaking about me in the third person. I still can't believe that it is actually ME (!) that I am talking about.
Theo wrote me a beautiful poem for my birthday. I will end this post with his words:
"All of those you have embraced in your life
The old, the young, they are there for your fight
words can't describe how i feel 'bout this mess
But my hand is here to hold in these great times of stress" Theo Sangenitto xo

It was nice to get to chat for a bit today! Hang in there and try to get through this cold as quickly as possible to remain strong for the chemo onset. Glad you got to see such a fun movie with the family! Thanks for sharing Theo's poem too! :) Lots of prayers!

Yes, you have been speaking in the third person and I am so happy you recognize that. However, I know that you are strong willed, brave, and have a great attitude. Your cup has always been more than half full! We are all here to embrace you and gather around you as you need it. Just like the elephants gather around to make a "circle of safety" when one of them births their calf. We are one.

Hi Syd,
ReplyDeleteI so loved talking with you at last. It amazes me that after all these years, almost 27 to be exact, you still sound exactly the same! Oh to be transported back to simplier times! I hope you know in your heart what my feeble attempt in words expresses--that I love you and value our friendship. Though miles may seperate us, know that my spirit is reaching out for yours. I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers tomorrow, and each day to come, patiently counting the minutes until your health is restored (and have faith that it most definitely will be!)Hang in there girlfriend! Love, Karen
The poem Theo wrote was beautiful. YOu are lucky to have such a sensitive man by your side. Hugs to you and Susan and Theo, thinking of you. Val
