A peek into the quiet times...

So this morning Ken stirred awake as I was preparing for work....this usually doesn't happen as he gets in around 1 am from his job. But once in awhile we have one of those quiet morning chats....today was one of those days. He looked at me shaking his head....I popped a smart mouth comment....he said nothing and continued to shake his head. No laughter came instead out of his mouth came...."They lied, NO cancer is a good cancer to get." For years we have been told, "if you're going to get cancer, thyroid cancer is the one to get". I could see the sadness, anger & fear in his eyes. How does one offer support during those unknown moments?  Well with me I turn to laughter....I tried making him laugh. Today I failed. The thought of this evil monster growing inside of me for 18 years has entwined so many emotions throughout my family. We WILL get thru this one day at a time. Some days will be easier and some harder. I will be thankful when we can place all of this behind us again and just celebrate life. Some days I just ignore the big elephant in the room....because it's just easier. I have released Ken from going to my biopsy with me...as he and needles don't mix well. Not sure if it will help him not to face reality for just a little bit longer. I sure hope so. Don't worry I won't be alone. Thank God for girlfriends!!! For now I am ready to forget reality as I run away this weekend with another amazing girlfriend. Friends are soooooooo important!!!! ♥ I love you!
