Well...not to be. What is that expression...I think it is a Yiddish proverb: "Mann traoch, Gott Lauch".....Man Plans, God Laughs. He has other plans for me and as sad as I am I know I am on the right path for me and especially my children.
I am about 7 boxes away from having this entire house completely ready to go to Michigan. The movers will be here at 8:00 tomorrow morning. I am astounded at the number of tears I have cried, although I know this move is a wonderful thing. I guess it is the transitions, leaving after almost 20 years, the after-shock of a mind-blowing year, the approaching end of treatments (even though I had another infusion this morning...3 or 4 more to go),....everything compounded! Hell, I didn't cry this much when I got diagnosed.
My sister Megan has the gift of soothing me with her words and actions. She just sent me a photo of the Sugar Maple that is outside my new bedroom window. She said it is just starting to turn. So she took a photo of it and sent is to me with love. Thank you Megan. It is gorgeous!!
All my sisters have wrapped their virtual arms around me, as have all of you. Thank you so much! I am so tired of it being about me. I am ready to be the giver instead of the receiver.
xoxo

How many times do I have to ask you for a "hankie warning"?!!??!
Believe me, I cry everytime I hear the stories of you saying "good-bye" to your Dallas family. They are loved by all the Moons girls!
Your courage, strength, spirit and determination continue to be an inspiration to those that surround you in love.
See you soon...safe travels!
xoxo Megan
Maureen,
You HAVE been giving. The giving you have done this year with your sharing is un-measurable. I have nothing more to add than "thank you".
