Here we are 4:24am, February 16, 2006.
I'm finding it very weird that at this moment I have this incredible urge to write. The whole purpose of me taking Grade 13 English in summer school was to get out of having to write in a daily journal. My writing sucks...in Grade 11 English, I was given the "Silver Staple Award" from Mr. Walker as being the "Most Redundant Person". Give me a pencil and a calculator and I feel at home.
In my true form, having found out that I have Breast Cancer, I have this need to organize. So here will be a place for me to organize my thoughts and to keep everyone "in the know". I remember when Jamie was sick. The support from within and outside the Groves family was incredible. I can recall being there and listening to all the conversations and phone calls and thinking how do you remember who you told and how do you remember what you told them. So for me this was the perfect place to know that I have told everyone everything.
The e-mails, visits and phone calls from you all have been great. The thoughts and prayers from all of you that I haven't been able to touch base with have also been felt too.
I love rollercoasters and what a ride this has been so far.
Today Steve and I will meet with the surgeon to figure out where to go from here. We've prepared our questions. Steve, my strength and my info junkie, has done all the research...me, I'm not ready to go there yet.
My kids are awesome... they know nothing and it's great to have that normallcy ( I will make up my own words as we go along, just so you know.) Sean is working on having his good days at daycare and using his words and not his hands to solve his problems. Andrew is continuing to amaze me with all of this knowledge...like how many vertices does a cone have, if any. Sounds like university to me and not grade 1.
Well, I must get back to bed and I think I'll be able to get back to sleep having gotten all this stuff out of my head now. So, know when I see you, that I'm ok to talk about things, I want to talk about things and if I can't, I'll let you know. It's all part of the healing process for me.
Stay tuned.

Kim,
I'm checking in on you. I hope your thoughts aren't keeping you awake all night and that you are able to get some rest.
My mind has been racing a lot lately and it just makes me wonder how you are handling all of this.
Make sure you use all of us for times when you are needing an extra push or when you are feeling low. Please tell Steve the same.
Getting mushy now - are you ready?
We love you
Michelle, Dave, Aidan, Madeline
Kim & Steve,
It was good to hear the "good" news from your mom today. It is times like this that brings family and friends together. And with all the prayers that you will receive, there is nothing but positive ahead for you.Our thoughts and prayers will continue. It may be hard to explain, but things happen in our lives for some unknown reason. What also helps Kim,is your positive attitude.Welove you both.

MY DEAR KIM' so you're still on the trot, good for you girl, yes you still haveto have a sense of humour When igo shopping something funny always happens.I went to the A@P to get myself a loaf of bread you have to slice your own (i'd never done it before,so i'm looking at the instructions above my head, and i saw this mam watching me, so i said him 'this is my first time' and he says'what at your age' i thought to myself you cheeky monkey anyway my bread turned out an inch thick , itold the bloke it was his fault,but i keep smiling when ithink about it,enough of my chatter for now looking forward to seeing you saturday lots of love to everyone, NAN
Kim,
Wow!! I can't believe my blonde moments never seem to fail me.
Here, I've been waiting for you to send your "me" thoughts via email. It's really hard to believe that I'm a cop and actually teaching recuits to be one as well. Anyway, I am so thrilled that I am on line now and able to keep up to date with you.
I have spent the last hour reading your thoughts and all the comments. You have such a strong support team, one that loves you a lot. I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that but wow!!!! How can you be nothing but strong and successful with all of that support and love.
You have been in my thoughts and prayers since you first told me, in the stinky boys hockey dressing room.... I am so happy we are back in touch. I've missed you.
It was so nice to talk to you today!! You sound great but I'm sure I got you at a good time.
Please try to stay strong and everything with fall into place for you....it always does.
Take care and I look forward to hearing about you, Steve and the boys.
