Enjoy it

 I wish the last time I rode the Harley I would have known it was the last time. I would have asked to go a little further and a little faster. I wish the last time we went out for dinner and drinks, I would have ordered dessert and an extra drink. Maybe we can go out once more. Maybe we can have that last dance. Some one once said you're responsible for your own happiness but it's a lot easier if your life is filled with puppies and rainbows and not cancer. That C word changes things. You focus day to day and you try to create your own happiness and take those little victories whenever you can. You make friends with some nurses that cross your path that are incredible people. You listen to stories and try to learn from other people.  You smile when you can and put on the best front you can. Always.  Every day. You make a difference and you make yourself enjoy it because tomorrow isn't promised.

Take the picture

 Someday you'll regret not taking a picture.  Someone will be gone and the opportunity will be lost. You can't rewind time. Take the picture.  It doesn't matter if your makeup is on. It doesn't matter if your clothes are wrinkled.  All people will remember is your smile, maybe what was said and how the picture came to be. I forced Chris to stand by a waterfall and it was the last good picture ever taken of him. It almost didn't happen because he had to get his shoes wet. I'm so glad it did. I know I irritate people taking pictures.  I make no apologies.  Smile cause I'm gonna get you.

Three Little Words

 This morning I called my son for some medical advice. His son was listening in the background and said "Hi Ganni". I told them both good bye and said I loved them. My grandson said it back. He loves me. I think I've been on a natural high all day.  Three little words make such a big difference in this crazy world and for the record, Parker I love you more.
