A Penny For Your Thoughts

Scott and I worked on the back porch and in the yard on Saturday. At the end of the day I had mentioned Mike and Marianne and how I thught about them all day. Scott said he thought about Mike when he was grilling. It is so easy to put yourself where they are now. Scott had chemo with Mike, who has his own law firm, Jeffrey, who is a pediatric surgeon but when it all comes down to it we are all equal fighting the same disease. When we were visiting Mike and I asked them if we could get them anything, something to eat, something to drink etc..She said no, they had friends that has visited and brought them things but, didn't really understand what they were going through. At chemo we share our stories. What we found to be easy to eat after chemo, physical therapy for atrophy etc..
Scott has made me the person I am. He has made me appreciate life and not take anything for granted. I admire him for his strength, for his words of encouragement to others and for his strength to fight. We don't know why things happen to good people or why we are put in their lives. I wouldn't trade my life for anything. The friends we've made along the way, I treasure their frienships. I treasure the love I have found in Scott.
