My brain tumor journey continues. September 20, 2011 was the most recent surgery. The healing process continues and I thank you for your support, friendship, laughter, and love. I am learning about daily chemo (not so bad) hemionopsias, and patience.

Clinique Gift Bag

As many women may know, you can go to a department store, pay x amount of money for Clinique make-up, lotions, etc and you get a "free gift."

Last Friday, I went to my friends Katie and Jeff's house for dinner.  They have the sweetest three children who gave me the most thoughtful, heartfelt gift I have ever received.  And it just so happened to be in this "free Clinique gift" bag.

After dinner, their oldest son (8), shyly handed my this little bag which was surprisingly heavy.  I asked if they could tell me the story behind it before I opened it up as I had absolutely no idea what to expect.  I simply knew that Katie told me they had come up with this idea on their own.

After talking with their parents and knowing I had just had surgery, they decided to help.  A couple weeks ago, these three boys (8, 6, 4) had a hot chocolate, cookie stand to help raise money for me!  They were out for almost 6 hours serving up goodies to help me.  Their goal was to raise $25.00 because they knew that each of my appointments (the co-pay) was that amount!  My heart has been lifted and I cannot thank you three enough!

These boys give me such hope and strength.

We know that if the tables were turned you'd do the same for them and any one of us. May you continue to be blessed with hope!
