2015 had so many ups and downs, i am happy to see it coming to an end.
It started with a loved one announcing a cancer diagnosis. I had to remove the calender from my desk at work because I felt my countdown clock going off in my head and I couldn't take it. We got a miracle tho and to date the cancer is gone. Then came the purchase of the most perfect house. A safe haven. Then on your birthday Ruth, of ALL days, on our birthday i was told I may be facing a cancer diagnosis of my own. A tumor was found on my ovary. Then came weeks of anxiety like I have never experienced before and for the first time ever I was scared - really truly scared that I may not be ok. This couldn't be it is all i kept telling myself. I finally was in a good,safe,content,happy place. Thankfully my amazing surgeon, despite the operation being more complicated than expected removed the tumor and adhesions to help my colitis.The recovery of course then became longer too but aside from a 6 inch ugly scar I feel great.
Then came Roo. A sweet little pup who has brought me back to a person I used to be. I think Mojo,Karma and suki are pretty happy about this too. 2015. It was up, it was down. I can't wait for 2016.
