A Good Day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! YOU ARE THE BEST!

















         Like mother, like daughter.



Today I made banana bread in honor of my mom's birthday. Somehow mine never turns out as good as her's. Mom's banana bread is always perfect - moist and delicious! Today's turned out good, but still not as good as mom's. But it didn't stop Mark and I from eating half the loaf in honor of mom's birthday!


Sweet friends brought me supplies from Wallmart and dinner from Chik-fil-a! 


My good friend, Dr. B. brought me a new air filter to use in our house while my white blood count is so low! 


Some of our missionary friends who  worked with us in Mexico City were in Houston today and came by to visit. We hadn't seen them in years. It was so nice to catch up after so long! Thanks, Jim and Janna, for taking the time to hang out with us!


And then, I chatted for a while with a very special friend who has been clean and sober for one week! It made my heart so happy to hear how he has decided to make positive changes in his life! You know who you are - I love you!


For a little while today I forgot that I have an ileostomy. I forgot that I have an IV port in my chest. I forgot that I am fighting cancer. For a little while today, I felt like Laura. The pre-cancer Laura. It was a good day!
