The day took a lovely turn after a breakfast of blueberry pancakes and carnation instant breakfast boosted up with benecal. Judith came over for lunch and we all enjoyed grouper sandwiches from Pier 22. I am so happy to be able to eat food and not be on a strictly liquid diet. For dinner, Bunny is making some tuna salad. She spent a lot of time researching possible meals that Hans and I can have that are easy and agree with my strict diet. What a great friend!

• Hans  cut his trip short and is coming home early, so Bunny and I plan to go to the International Mall by the airport and do some shopping and have dinner before his plane comes in.  Hans and I have really missed each other and fearing that our time may be cut short by my disease, I think we both are eager to stay together from now on.   Being apart has strengthened and reminded  us how much we love each other.  Hans sent me the sweetest texts while he was gone and I can sense how hard this ordeal is  for him too.  I had an “aha” moment when I visualized that he was the person with cancer.  I realized that my disease was not only about what was happening to me.  🙄 duh!
• Note to self: It’s easy to get wrapped up in your own pain and fright and forget how your condition effects those you love.
