Day 52

Rhys has a new bedtime ritual. I have to sit in the chair beside her bed and wait for her to fall asleep before I can leave the room. So with the power of the iPhone, I am writing my blog on the rocking chair, while she falls asleep. I don't mind- makes me feel good that she wants me watching over her at bedtime. I use this time to read or play angry birds and sometimes I fall asleep before she does. Kids need the security of knowing that their parents are always there. I can understand that. I realize more and more how valuable this time is in her life. Cancer has given me he opportunity to spend precious time with my kid at such a crucial time of development in her life. My dad had 3 kids and Rhys was the first newborn he ever held. He was too busy working. June asked me the other day if I could say that cancer was the best thing that happened to me. I don't think I am quite there yet but I can say this: There have been many blessings in disguise that have come from being sick. Blessings and experiences that I may never get again. For that I am eternally grateful to this disease.
