Things are good in our household. Each day, I try and remember that there are people that have life a lot harder than I do. Sick kids or no jobs, and really I try to remember my life, in the realm of the world, is quite easy. It can easily be forgotten though... like when there are 2 almost 2 year olds emptying your bathroom drawers or riding their rocking horses in your bathroom while you try to get ready in the morning. Or someone is biting someone. Or someone else is getting clocked. But, I know that is small stuff, right?
Greta has been a wonderful teacher to us over these past couple of months. She is a dog, but she is our dog and our family member. Taking care of her has reminded us that life really can change in an instant and you can't take it for granted. Each day that she has been with us, we are reminded of how life can change and thankful for what we do have. It has been up and down over the past few months. The 1st month was the hardest - lots of yuck and scares. But over the past month, it's been almost easy to forget the Cancer. She has was in the best spirits at the beach and caught the frisbee like the frisbee champion that she is, she rode the waves in and ran on the beach. It has almost been like she was not sick most of the time.
It is hard to know what to expect. As of yesterday, she had her 1st 'episode' in close to a month. Today she seems to be feeling better. It's a day at a time.
