January 27, 2013

Good morning.  I cannot believe that this week February begins.  Crazy!
So it has been quiet here which is always a GREAT thing.  Cody goes back to school tomorrow for the 2nd part of his sophomore year.  He is looking forward to it because he knows it is closer to getting finished.  He also signed up for soccer training.  He is so excited!  I think this is the one thing he has missed the most.  Matter of fact, I know it is.  He will be training with a coach and one other kid.  He starts Feb 12.  He has asked that I do not go and I can't anyway.  I have started seeing a therapist to help me get through my tough days.  I worry about Cody, non stop.  I know that will not ever go away, this is what moms do but I know it is annoying to him.  I am waiting to hear that Casey is deploying, any day now.  That is another huge worry too.  I am so looking forward to our cruise this summer when we can all be together and have some fun and relax!!
This year, I have focused on ways to give back to those great foundations that have helped us along the way.  The one that is close is Contractors for Kids.  I was happy to be asked to speak at one of their dinner events a few weeks ago.  I was nervous but was honored to do it.  Cody is such an inspiration to all who are battling.  We met another family there and will add them to our prayers.
We continue to pray for those we know battling this disease.  Many prayers to our friend's niece, Meg. She is battling a rare bone cancer and going through some tough chemo now. Stay strong, Meg!
Thanks for reading.
