Chemo Months - Photoblog 9,9

So, it's interesting going back through these. I'm glad we have them, and I'm glad to share them, but even the happy things don't necessarily bring warm feelings. These are all we have from December to February. A lot of holidays occur during that time, and birthdays, and other group gatherings and Dan couldn't attend any of them. It was just Will and I (and Henry sort of) at all these family things, and we were missing a pretty integral part of our family. That point driven home even more as the family things we were going to all were on Dan's side. Despite my parents being here for a good part of this time; and the lifelines that were our friends - people who brought us food (which again, thank you! Totally wouldn't have pulled together a single meal if it weren't for you!) and called and checked in and came over and took care...it was a lonely time. It was weird to "experience" the holidays when going through something like we were.

But there were good things, and I am glad I have pictures of them because at some point I think we will be able to look at them and see them as good all on their own, not moments of good almost engulfed by the fear and pain and anxiety that surrounded them.

Here are a couple of my favorites, rest are here: Photoblog 9.9
