We spent a very happy first day in New Haven.
And here's the long.
How strange it is to travel after almost a year of being so house bound. Of course there was that one very short overnight trip to Nashville.
I'll have to admit I'm really tired - but I don't mind.
This morning Max got to play hooky from daycare so we could enjoy his company. He has such a sweet dispositon. His smile just lights up the whole room!
This afternoon Shelley introduced me to a friend from work who has recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. This sisterhood is so large - but the tide is turning in this battle. The treatments, although sometimes very harsh, are becoming better and better. There really have been such great advances. I find myself one more time thinking about how grateful I am to all the people who work to make better treatment a reality.
I was so moved by the opportunity to just spend a few minutes with a woman who is just at the beginning of her journey. At this point I can know with great certainty that my breast cancer has brought me many gifts. One of them came today as I had the opportunity to meet another incredibly strong woman in a way that would have been impossible before now.
