Here are some of our favorite moments:
Lunch with the sweetest companions! Mom, Ruth, Pat, Katie and I
Digging into the heavenly chocolate desserts!
Getting settled for a great movie at the IMAX
Posing with the dinosaur! It's a must for every visitor to the Ft. Worth Science Museum!
It all adds up to a Happy Mom with a Happy Heart!!
It has been an incredibly nice break from the rigors of chemo. So refreshing to just be "normal!" Lunching, Chocolate-Munching, Visiting, Movie-going, Laughing Normal! What better way for us girls to spend the day? We didn't even mention the word cancer once!
But it was on all our minds - one look at Mom's legs and you couldn't forget. The swelling and discomfort are constant companions now. The minute she drops them below her heart level, they puff right up. So, we made her ride in the back of the car with her legs up on the seat, then found a seat in the theater with no one in front of her and propped her legs up on that too. We're not proud! We even got an usher to take us up to the top of the theater in the elevator in order to avoid the stairs. And for those who have never been to an IMAX theater - there are a lot of stairs!
And still she smiles through it all. Hearts are full, tummies too! And we have more partying on the agenda for tomorrow! It's our families Big Summer Birthday Bash! Bound to be more laughter, more hugging, more fun and more merriment! And maybe more pictures :)
Can't wait! Jane
