Brendan, I suddenly realized last night. YOU are the one that got me through the breast cancer ordeal. Of course my family's moral support (my kids, my mother, my brother). And of course the LOVE I have for my kids. And this blog entry is not to diminish the love I have for my family, friends, or children. It's just a heartfelt testimony that, aside from my children YOU were my very favorite person in the world.
It was my LOVE for you, that got me through. My constant focus on how much I loved you, how much I couldn't wait to be with you. How much I thought about you. and how I could make the minutes, hours, days and weeks in YOUR life better.
It took the focus off of me and worrying about my own health too much.
Making LOVE, happiness, and play more important than fear.
Despite two surgeries, weeks of radiation and infection, chronic pain & discomfort; it was still just background noise. I had more important things to think about than my cancer ordeal. I had LOVE to think about. And that LOVE was you!
Thank you, thank you my dear sweetheart for giving me the gift of YOU!
The following song started playing while I was writing this. AND oh my gosh...the writer of the song is named Brendan! From Ireland of all places.
André Rieu & His Johann Strauss Orchestra performing 'You Raise Me Up' live at Mainau, Germany.
