The Letter

A year ago I was standing in my closet trying to figure out what to wear to work…what was clean, what could pass as clean and what had to be ironed. So I was thinking, “Black pants, striped sweater, no, blue pants…I have cancer.” I was thrown by the thought but just kept getting ready for work. Here we are now January 2007, you know the rest.

To bring a happy ending to the last year, tomorrow we are going to Disney World with the kids and Steve’s parents. The best part is that the kids don’t know yet. They think tomorrow is another school day. Because Andrew and Sean LOVE to get mail, that’s how I decided we should tell them, in a letter at breakfast tomorrow morning. So here it is.

Dear Andrew and Sean,

We want you to know how proud we are of you both. You are two very special boys. You have made the past year easier on us as Mom gets rid of her cancer.

So, we are going to have a family celebration. There will be no school today or for the next eight days. After you have breakfast and get dressed, (don’t forget to brush your teeth) we will be going to the airport and flying to Florida to go to Disney World!

We love you so much. This will be the best vacation ever!

Love,
Mom and Dad
xoxo

Needless to say, they are going to freak out and we’ll have the video camera set up to catch it all.

Dear Kim:

Well I have just finished having a good cry...after reading your blog.
I haven't had one since last February, and after all that has happened this year, I felt it was
due. I think I have been running on nerves.

I Thank God everyday, for giving us you and Steve,and the boys. Chris, Andrea, Thomas and Emma.
With the love and support of Steve's wonderful family, as well as ours, it has been a very happy ending.

Enough of the heavy stuff...

I can hardly wait to see that video and the one you will take with their Mickey Mouse ears.
Have a wonderful trip and enjoy, because you deserve it.
See you when you get back...MY HERO..

Love Always
Mom
