Being BRAVE because of you


My little Mr. Blue Eyes has made me be a stronger person.  He has helped me build courage and have more vigor and passion in my life.
I think that is why often our life experiences are our greatest teachers.
I am not the same and never will be.   I was not going to share this but I am documenting his journey.  He has reminded me several times how he has helped me to be brave with this particular thing.  I shared it with him after the first procedure.  I told him that after all we have been though with him this seemed smaller than it used to be. 
Prior to cancer becoming a high priority I had booked three necessary  procedures for Edovascular Laser/ Phlebectomy's.  It  would total eight hours of procedures on my legs in 4 weeks time.  The recovery from the last is 3-4 weeks after the last procedure. To my surprise as it approached I was not worried or stressed.  I had my hubster dump me off at the curb and a friend pick me up when it was over. 
 Yes I am a little crazy for doing this at this time but I am of the mind set to just
get all of it over with at once.  
So I did and it has been hard to be a gimp and living with pain. 
However I am OK and will be much better when i don't look like someone beat me. 
So I lay in the sun grateful for a little boy who taught me I can do hard things to be 
braver today than yesterday.
So though I am a gimpasaurus I am glad I had this little brave child of mine and a 
loving Heavenly father who touch my soul and let me grow.

  5. Trouble comes in bunches - maybe it's easier to deal with in bunches too!
