Get through …

As we age , life definitely sends you up n down n all around. And as I sit at the cancer center today while my husband gets immunotherapy, ( he has Non Hodgkins Lymphoma-2019), I’m reminded of our wedding vows - For better or worse , in sickness and in health , for richer or poorer …

I tell ya, after 26 years , we’ve hit it all. But isn’t that life ? I recall going to bed hungry in my 20’s because I didn’t have a lot of money ( or a credit card) and my pride precluded me from asking for help. I was way too young to know there were food banks or churches that would help me. And I got through !

My husband always thanks me for being here. I always wonder - “ do I have a choice ?” Because love , real and mature love , means being there for the people you love. So no , I have no choice but to be here. And to get through !

I don’t know if this wisdom comes with age or experience? But either way , I’m very thankful to be here at 55 and to have the ability to get through !

I also know from experience that no matter how bad it gets, I have what it takes to get through ! We all do. Know it. Believe it. Own it. Because you truly have no choice but to get through !
