These past few weeks have been amazing! I have been able to spend my time with the ones I love the most. And I have loved every minute of it. I have also been able to spend my time 4 of my close friends who came to town (all at different times). Some of them I hadn't seen in a few months and some it had been over a year. I can't remember the last time I was this happy. These are the people who when you are with them, you forget your trials, you pain, your worries. And you just enjoy one another, you laugh, sing, dance (we are pretty intense). These 4 individuals have really touched my life in so many ways. ( of course I have other amazing friends who live here too.. I will do "shout outs" to you on another day.. I promise)
I remember we all met about 4 years ago. I can't believe it has been that long already. We met at church up in Platte City. Many of them lived in Leavenworth, and over the years we all grew together. I can remember so many fun memories with them. We would have random parties, game nights, movies nights. It was so carefree and fun. We had been there for each other through different relationships we all had, different heartbreaks, different milestones, the whole shebang. It's been quite the journey.
Seeing them all for the first time since I found out about my cancer really put so many things into perspective. We all realized that our bonds have been strengthened, that life is fragile and to make sure you live with gratitude each day (especially being grateful for the ones you love). Seeing them these past few weeks has been so wonderful, and its hard when we all have to go back to our own lives. Two of them have already gone home, but the other 2 are still here for a few more days. I feel blessed because right now, this week is the best I have felt in months. (Side Note: Acupuncture is AMAZING.. everyone should do it)And because of that, I have been able to spend almost every moment with them at different times.
