A few weeks before I got the news about my cancer, I made plans with my best friend to go to her families lake house. We had been talking about it all summer and finally had a weekend that would work for everyone.
Little did we know how much we would all need this weekend get away together! So, my best friend lost her mom a year ago to breast cancer. When I got the news it was very hard to tell her. You worry about how it will effect her. What kind of feelings and emotions is this going to bring up for her. We have finally got to a point where we can enjoy talking about her and enjoy memories of her.
She asked me if I wanted to cancel due to getting the news but I declined that offer very quickly! It was just what I needed. Time away. Time to enjoy my friends and family.
What a great decision that was! We had an awesome weekend with just the right amount of relaxation and distraction. We laughed. We cried. We lived.
It was sunshine and lake water.
