I'm asking all of you to send prayers/positive energy my mom's way on Tuesday. She's having the tumor removed in her breast and has two pre-surgery procedures to go through in the morning. It will be a long and tiring day for her (and my sisters and I) so any good thoughts would be welcomed. It's an in and out surgery so she'll be coming home Tuesday night and will have a solid 2 week recovery time before her radiation starts. Thankfully it doesn't (as of right now) look as though she'll need chemotherapy.
As for me; I've had a rough weekend emotionally. I've been trying to be strong and not thinking negatively about the entire situation and in doing so haven't dealt with my own pain. This weekend that tears came out in hard sob form which was hard since I was at my Sweet Adeline retreat. The wonderful thing is that I had about 15 women there to lift me up every time I fell this weekend. We sang at one of the members church this morning and during that part where the pastor asks for concerns and prayers one of the ladies mentioned prayers for mom. I was touched. Actually several of the ladies put my mom's name on their prayer lists at their own church. They have only met her once, some twice, and this shows just how much people can truly care.
I promise to keep everyone updated. I'll be back and forth to Oswego this week and again this weekend so I won't be around much. Please be thinking of my family this week. We really need it right now.
