Friendship

I am thankful for the many friends that I have, especially the girlfriends. I am lucky to have many girlfriends in my address book and cell phone contacts; I truly have been blessed.

Recently four different women, from four different parts of the country,came to visit me. I am honored to have had these women visit! Each of these women have touched my life in some positive way, more than once. I am at a loss for how good it felt to see these gals; after all it has been a number of years since I had seen any of them.

It felt really good to constantly laugh (even though it physically hurt) and feel the excitement of hearing & sharing stories from the past. I am thankful to have had the opportunity to see these women, get to know them again, and let them know I truly care about them.

I don't know what my future holds, but we penciled in another visit for this time next year. You'll find that I don't feel comfortable planning to far ahead, 'just because'.

Even though I have stage four, metastatic breast cancer with an unclear future, I feel like the luckiest girl! These four women are just a few; I've made many great girlfriends over the years. I'm extremely lucky to have to many to count! Cancer can't take that away from me, ever.

Thank you girls..... for your friendship!
