Merry Christmas Eve!

All we had to do for Derek today was go to his radiation (#4)early this morning. That was fast and easy and uneventful as it has been. Praying it stays that way. No PT or OT so home we came. He had a good nap before church but was pretty wiped out after. The days really have been flying by. Tomorrow marks 4 weeks since they found the tumor. I can hardly believe it. Hardly believe that it has been 4 weeks. Hardly believe he has an aggressive cancer.
I went to the store with Kate today to get some last minute food items and as we were walking out to the car, an elderly woman was walking past me. She looked me right in the eye and said Merry Christmas and put her hand on my arm and gave it a quick squeeze. It happened so fast, yet that moment in time seemed to linger. Neither of us stopped walking yet she was able to connect with me. I must admit, that small gesture brought me to tears.

My posts seem to come later in the day so I will say Merry Christmas now from all of us!
