The thing we have discovered on this journey is that you can't take anything for granted. Each chemo treatment has been so different for me. Sometimes I can get out of bed on Saturday (treatment is always on Wednesday), sometimes that doesn't happen until Monday. For the most part now I know what to expect and when to expect it. I know that if I push too fast I will pay for it the next day. Sometimes, it doesn't matter how badly I want to do something my body just won't let me. So, we don't plan much on my treatment weeks - which come around like clockwork every other week. This past week was a chemo week as well as Father's Day and we didn't plan anything. However, when Jason got home from church that afternoon I had a burst of energy. We decided to grab a bite to eat at a local diner about 10 minutes from our house.
This diner happens to be my grandad's favorite hangout. On most afternoons you can find him there having coffee with his buddies. Even in his 70's he is super social. This is totally off the subject but my mom told me a story the other day of a man showing my grandad photos of some gold that he had found panning or something like that. Grandad, in fine form, whips out his own cell phone and starts showing pictures of Kearyn. That's right - she is more precious that any amount of gold. :-)
Anyway, we went to this diner and had a cheeseburger and our favorite - iced tea. No, it is not sweetened (sorry to disappoint my readers from the south) - Jason and I gave up the sugar a few years back. (I know, I know, it seemed impossible at the time too!) We had a delightful time and in the midst of it I snapped these photos with my iPhone (explains the quality but if you want to know a secret almost all my photos are taken with my iPhone because I always have it with me!) Anyway, I just wanted to share this moment with you. We cherish each and every one of them.
Happy Father's Day to my husband - the best dad ever!
