A wonderfully quiet day at home

We had a great day together at home today. Derek is able to walk around with his walker and he seems to be picking up a little speed(all walks and being up and around are followed by a good long rest). We just spent some good time together. A day of family. I loved our time together before but so much more now. I will find myself just staring at him. He smiles. And every time he says "You're special Mom". Which of course gets followed by YOU are special. Honestly. This is not about me. Even in this he makes sure everyone is ok and is taken care of and that they feel good.

We are so blessed to be able to use a minivan on loan from a friend. This will allow us to make the trips back and forth to Derek's many appointments and his wheelchair fits perfectly in the back. It is truly a blessing.
That is it for today. No cancer news. No blood draw news. And that is ok. There will be time for all of that.
Today we could just be a family in our new normal. No pictures to share from today, but here are a couple from the hospital.
