Tears

 I was asked from a friend after my diagnosis if the colors seemed brighter. Her meaning do I have a new appreciation of life. I had to answer no. I have always had an appreciation for life, maybe my appreciation came from losing a parent at an early age. I was eight when my father died. Where ever the love of life came from I have always know it. What I have not always experienced is the emotion of life.

I have thought, since this journey I have shed many a tear. When someone says “I have shed many of tear.” My first thought is sadness has brought on this emotion. But not in my case, I have shed a tear almost every day. Not crying just getting teary eyed from a wonderful emotion, Love! Love felt from the friend would takes time out of her busy schedule to go to chemo with me, the friend who has called me every day, the little messages left on Facebook, the friend who insists on cleaning our pool, my silly sister who will not stop bringing me gifts, meals, cards, flowers. I could go on and on.

  I feel very privileged to have this emotion. So when you see me have a tear know that I feel your love.
