I looked at the date today, and my world spun in reckless abandon, for a second. February 16, has always been an important day, but today’s meaning was different. Two months ago was Scott’s birthday. Two months ago, we didn’t know. Now we know, why he was in pain. We also know the difference between this narcotic and that. What a lopressor is, how to navigate the maze of UNMC without thinking, and other Cancer facts I never realized I could learn.
Although our lives are frozen, time passes anyway.
My hair fits into a pony tail again. It was just cut, except it was months ago, when life looked and felt different. It feels like yesterday, yet a lifetime ago. My mind might be frozen, but my hair kept growing.
Time passes and all of sudden I realized that my kids’ clothes are almost the same size as mine. They put on my socks today, and we all reveled in the fact that they almost fit my 7 and 5-year-old. My mind might be frozen, but my kids keep growing.
As I ran errands before 6pm, I noticed that it was still light outside. How does that happen? When did our days shift from short to longer again? My mind recalled this week, and all of a sudden I realized that I drove to work with the sun, not in the dark. My mind might be frozen, but the Earth keeps spinning.
Our lives might be frozen, but life goes on and continues. If I stop to think about it, I bet our lives have continued to move forward. However, I am tired, and I am done with epiphanies today. My mind might be frozen, but I keep thinking.
You are such an amazing writer, woman, wife, mother and person. Time is a bitch, sometimes. Sometimes, she’s our friend. But not usually.
Thinking about you and your family. Much, much, much…
I just commented and went back to my blog and realized we were commenting at the same time on one another’s blog. I was also yelling at my husband to go back to his cancer doc and get another follow-up, whether he’s due or not. <3 huge you. HUGS.
This is an really beautifully written post. So poetic and insightful.
Time flies but you guys are doing this, fighting hard, praying and making things happen. Well written. As always, you are in our thoughts and prayers. Hugs!
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing your gorgeous thoughts.

I think of you and your family often. I miss seeing your photos on the project. Sending prayers and hugs! Two things that you can never get enough of.

Beautifully said, Honey. You write so beautifully and put us in the moment with you.
