High hope!

...........Sitting here at a blank page trying to gather words..not sure as to what to say or how to say how I am feeling at this moment. Or if my words will come out wrong....but nevertheless....This is why I started this blog.  So I can jot down my thoughts, feelings and journey of my life.  Some days are fun and full of laughter and others not so great. Butt........Today

Today I am with high hopes and good gut feeling!
 My father's last chemo was yesterday and he will have a scan done Nov. 12th in the AM to see if the chemo worked to shrink the tumors.... .  If the chemo did work and the tumors shrank we will know if and when they will schedule surgery.  Why am I at high hopes?..Well so far he has beat this ugly cancer twice and will do so again. I know and have a good feeling he has done so AGAIN.  I am so proud of him, he has been so strong during all of this.  Marine strong...will fight for himself and his family.                                                            

 A champion is someone who gets up even when they can't.......
 You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it...

I do tend to fight with my own emotions..more like argue with them...I can't let myself get my hopes up too high just to be let down. But he is my dad and I am sure everyone will understand about getting hopes up high.  I am sure everyone wants the world to be perfect and see their parent live a long healthy and happy life right....well I want that for my parents to.  They both deserve it!   I mean after all the heck my sister and I have put them both through...He has had a hard life with my sister and I.  A single father with two young girls.. worked hard to keep food on the table and a roof over our head. Then he meet the most wonderful woman to be his wife.  I can't even imagine what our lives would have been like with out her...or getting a little brother for that matter.  She has been the best thing for us. Not only is she my mother but she is my best friend.  She to is a fighter!  She can understand what my father is going through as she has had to fight cancer herself.  so I think it's safe to say that her and I will not give up!  Her and I will not back down!!!





 Have a great day,
