Day 56
Quiet time. Life has been in full swing for the last two weeks. People call morning and night from all around the world for the past two months. Every conversation I have always ends up on the subject of Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I have explained the same story repetitively. I know sometimes friends and family do not want to bother Jackie, so they call me instead. I really do appreciate all the concern I get from everyone. You really see who earnestly cares and love during this time.
Today my mother in law left to take a break. I’m glad she gets time off to break from the constant concern and worries that come along with Hodgkin’s. I am also thankful to be able to enjoy the alone time I have with my wife. It seems so simple, but it is so treasured. I miss the shopping trips to target, the coffee shop chats, small dinners, and even watching a movie at home. These are all basic but so cherished. This is my therapy. Life definitely needs it’s balance.
