Christmas at Freeport ........ Different but Perfect!!!!!!!!


So Christmas this year was different ....... Everyone came up Chistmas Eve to the hospital and we ordered pizza and chicken wings (non traditional Christmas dinner) but it was perfect.  I got to watch Jackson, Noah, Owen and Maddie and Alyssa open there gifts from eachother.  It's so much fun watching there facial expressions when they open there gifts.  It sure was hectic in my room with everyone but I wouldn't have spent it any other way.  When the kids got antsy someone would take them for a walk down hall, all the old people on my floor loved seeing the kids, they said it brightened there day.  

Christmas Day, my parents and Becca came up and Dan and Alyssa and we just had snacky foods for lunch.  It again was perfect.  Nothing about Christmas this year was traditional, but next year will be different.  My mom promised that when I get home we can have a big turkey dinner.  I know Dan will look forward to that lol.  

On Chirstmas morning I was able to FaceTime with Dan and kids and I could watch them open presents from Santa and us.  It was so cute because every present Owen opened he would come right up to the camera and show me.  Dan also took iPad upstairs in morning to wake Owen up with a Christmas song, Owen just jumped out of bed and ran downstairs lol.  Alyssa woke up shortly after and Dan took iPad upstairs so she could see me right when she woke up.  When she saw me she had a huge smile on her face, it was so cute.  

Yesterday, Dan came up for the afternoon and into the night, we had some great laughs and then of course he shopped on kijijii lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Sarah Pelletier stopped in for a visit just as Dan was leaving, it was nice catching up and sharing stories.  

Here are a few Christmas pics to enjoy:

Why Me?

Why Me?  This is still a question I ask myself quite often, almost too often.  I've asked my oncologist from day one why me? Her response to me, there is no reason Laura why you got cancer, you didn't eat anything, you didn't do anything to get it.  This is the mystery of cancer, no one knows why people get it.  It's a horrible disease and I think I'm just starting to see how horrible it really is.  I have friends and family who are cancer survivors, I've spent a lot of time confiding in them and talking about my struggles.  My 2 friends who both are cancer survivors are the most positive people I know and a huge inspiration to me and when I'm having a rough time with things I turn to them.  One of them is my best friend who is a cancer survivor going on 9 years and another is a former coworker who also survived cancer and has been cancer free for 3 years.  It's not that I can't talk to other friends  or family about my struggles but sometime...

Missing having some 'NORMALCY' in my life ....

FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 12TH 2014 @ 12:56PM: just got home from Physio, going to blog before I begin cleaning the bathroom lol HOW I FEEL:  Pretty good; I rocked Physio today.  Last night I met the HR ladies from work for dinner at Boston Pizza.  It had been quite some time since we all got together, so it was nice to be able to reconnect with everyone and meet some of the new HR members of the team.  I can't believe it's been almost 2 years since I've been gone from work .... YES YOU HEARD RIGHT 2 YEARS!!!!!    I was expecting to return to work in October/November; however that idea has been kibosh-ed since I have this minor setback with my wound.  I likely won't be going back until the New Year now :(   I was really looking forward to getting some 'normalcy' back into my life.  Especially after meeting with everyone last night, I realized how much I miss work; I never thought I would say I miss it, but I do.  It would be different...

Merry Christmas !!!!!

FRIDAY DECEMBER 19TH 2014 @ 9:15am: dropped munchie off at daycare and I'm relaxing on the couch with a Starbucks and watching a Christmas Movie HOW   I   FEEL : wishing this cold would go away, it's been almost 2 weeks and I think it's overstayed it's welcome lol ACTUALLY it never was welcomed haha I just realized I haven't updated my blog since Alyssa's birthday; that's over a month ago.  I'm horrible at keeping it up to date, I always say I promise I will get better at this but it hasn't happened yet.  Maybe in the New Year ???? I can't believe Christmas is NEXT WEEK .... it doesn't feel like Christmas at all; maybe that's because our weather has been so bizarre the last few weeks and we don't have any snow.   I've been doing a lot of thinking the last few days about where I was last year and how far I have come.  This is a special Christmas for me because I get to be home with my family and Christmas morning I can...
