great day...great friends...surprise email....

its been a great few days...i have been going to see the cancer center therapist since i think the end of july or beginning of august...it has been really helpful to talk to patty(therapist)...it was good talking and crying with her without any worries...well on tuesday (sept 15) i went to meet with her and at the end of our session i graduated...which means i dont have to go and see her anymore...she said she feels i am doing so good mentally (not that i was crazy) and emotionally that i dont need to see her unless i feel like i need to talk or have any concerns that may arise...praise God!

today after a trip to costco with tj and donna, i went into the city to meet my best friend judy to do some shopping for our upcoming wisin y yandel concert on october 2nd...it was so much fun shopping with her, like the old days..after getting a really cute top at banana republic we went for burgers at Five Guys..so yummy and we literally were chatting like 2 school girls!!!!! afterwards we met tom, who has a cold and isnt feeling too good and we drove judy home...

once tom and i got home i asked tj if he missed me and he said i missed you so much mommy...wow, it just melted my heart...this little boy is one of the greatest gifts God has given me..he is amazing...God bless him...

while tom was having dinner i checked my email and much to my surprise i received an email from kristin, my dear friend and favorite nurse that took care of me while i was at 5300...as i have mentioned before kristin, along with rebecca and many other nurses were there when i needed them the most during my stay and saw me at my worse....kristin was the nurse that shaved off my hair when it started to fall out, a very special moment in both of our lives..wow, God blessed me by meeting her and the other nurses and i will be eternally grateful to them...anyway, it was great receiving an email from her and also very emotional...i read the email aloud to tom and was teary/crying off and on while reading it..i could also see that toms eyes were watery as well..he knows how special kristin is to me and the special bond her and i have with each other...she lives in north carolina and we dont talk on the phone, we just keep in contact via email and i swear our friendship is so special despite the distance...

overall, it was a great day seeing judy and receiving kristin's email...

one final note, light the night is right around the corner and we have raised almost $6K...how amazing is that! let's continue to support the leukemia and lymphoma society.....anna.gaff.net/walk

God bless!
