Janeen and I hope you all had a very happy and healthy Christmas. It has been a while since a posting has been entered on this blog but the good news is the ladies that follow this blog and have the same BRCA ! or 2 gene as Janeen, interact on Twitter. They share their fears and their successes after a surgery and some of the conversations Janeen shares with me are quite comical. It really has helped Janeen to be able to talk to women who have been where she has been. So all is good, but with a new year soon approaching, Janeen will be faced again with undergoing additional testing to make sure that that ugly C word is no where around. She is seeing a therapist who is helping her live with these fears and I am forever grateful for this woman. Janeen has a place to go and say whatever she wants to say, needs to say, doesn't want to say etc. without judgement or anyone telling her she shouldn't be feeling the way she feels. And that includes me. I have to own what's mine and I have no source of reference to tell Janeen what she should or shouldn't be feeling. I was just seeing a very unhappy daughter and I wanted her to get some help and she did. What a gift Janeen has given me.
Our Hawaii trip last month was a huge success. It was wonderful getting away and we all enjoyed doing our own thing and playing with Jack. He loved it and a change of scenery did us all a world of good. Rejuvenation is a wonderful experience and was long over due for us all.
Looking forward to a spectacular New Year. May 2013 be a year we all will be able to cherish. Through kindness towards one another daily you know we could change the world!
PEACE BE WITH YOU ALL!
Ciao, Barb
