Ranges of Emotions

Days are disappearing into the past too quickly.  

And yet at the same time, the hours seem to stand still.  It's hard to understand.

I am happy for some of the minutes and hours that pass by.  Some of them I want to go away.  The slow ones are different.  Depending on whether we're waiting on something to hear, or do, or go to.  I wouldn't mind them going by slowly if all the moments could just be savored, in a good place.  But then again, maybe that's a choice that has to be made.

Rob has been having a bit more quiet around him.  Little flashes of understandable anger, but they disappear as quickly as they come.  God raised him above that quiet this morning, by having a best-buddy from childhood call and bring out wonderful laughter and smiles that I haven't seen in a while (thank you, Andy... thank you, God).  I was sitting quietly beside him, busy in my never-ending piles of books and papers, smiling to the depths of my being.  

Seeing him happy makes me happy.  And I can't always bring that out in him.  It's evidence to me that I'm not supposed to be able to handle it ALL.  But to instead, cherish the help God sends our way.  And I do.

We have an appointment scheduled with the oncologist for February 12th.  We will discuss the options, the what-if's and what-not's, get answers to the growing lists of questions we will have, and then come home and pray for clear direction, for wisdom, for guidance... for the door to open that we're to walk through, together.  The 12th seems so far off, but I know it will, like most days lately, disappear too quickly.


This afternoon Rob showered, then slept most of the rest of the day and evening trying to recover from the exertion.  However, he just got a spurt of energy, and I believe he's entertaining his facebook family as I write.  ;)

The computer has given Rob such *JOY!*  He is able to reconnect with friends, and share the music he loves, that is so much a part of his life.  And along with the songs, he shares his knowledge of the bands, the histories, all the details you never knew about.  It keeps him in a good place, which is where I want him to be.

So, Rock On, Rob!!!  Let the music fill you with all that you love so much!

And I thank all of you for your prayers.  They are keeping him strong, so he is able to do what he loves.

You are the best.

In Love and In Peace,

Cheri ♥

Rob and I are not able to join the family at my sister's tomorrow for the annual Super Bowl party, but my big sis, in her kindness, is bringing a portion of the 'celebration' to us tomorrow afternoon!  Thank you, Carol!  We will be with you in spirit!!!

Dear Friends and Family... May you all enjoy the day and night with family and friends, knowing how blessed you are to have that time!!!
