Jack to Normal

So it’s another day of “hurry up & wait” here on the old oncology unit.  We’ve come to understand that time is somewhat irrelevant. If you have a procedure scheduled at 10 am that doesn’t mean it’ll happen at 10 am. If your labs are out of whack they’ll fix those first. Then they’ll do more labs & find some other value is doing its own thing. More fixing. More labs. With a little luck all those precious ducks get in a row & the procedure’s completed. If not there’s tomorrow, We’re not going anywhere. Not great if you have issues with anticipatory anxiety or limited patience (I’m blessed with both!). Jack on the other hand is taking it all in stride. He might get that from his Dad but I’m going to credit the rock my friend, Anne, brought. It fits in your pocket & enhances a myriad of attributes; including patience. Jack blessedly only needs a pocket sized rock. I would honestly require a boulder! SO if any dear friends have access to a dump truck & a forklift, please feel free to drop off my patience stone…

And speaking of dear friends, let me take another opportunity to give a shout out to the amazing people who’ve surrounded us with love & support. Barely an hour passes without someone checking on us, helping us, offering their services or just sending us love & positive vibes. The three of us are amazed at the generosity of our friends & community. We knew you were all an awesome bunch but you’ve exceeded our expectations a million times over. You’ve come through for us in ways both big & small. We feel incredibly blessed, loved & uplifted. To quote Bill & Ted, “We are not worthy!!!” Please know how much it’s appreciated & how hard we’ll try to pay it forward every day! Love you all…

Meg, Rich & Jack

P.S.- Dammit friends…its Wayne & Garth not Bill & Ted! I knew I’d muck it up…
