The amazing people in my life

I was having such a hard time tonight because Audrey has wanted to nurse all day and I am trying to officially be done. I was having a break down when I decided to text my moms best friend Donna. She immediately called me and I hesitated answering because I was crying. I did answer though and I am so glad I did. She talked to me about my mom and her experience, she helped remind me of why I was doing all of this. My goal is to be here for all of my loved ones, to live a long healthy life and as my friend Morgan pointed out, even though this is hard today, the day of my girls wedding day I will be so thankful I could be there to proudly see it that today will seem like nothing. This experience is not only to help me physically fight future cancer, but it has shown me what amazing people I have in my life. There are times I looked around and really wondered if anyone would be there if I truly needed them like I do now, and I wasn't so sure. Tonight has taught me to live life with a purpose, live life as kind as possible, fighting, jealousy and hate should be as obsolete as possible because really, what's the point? I hope that if there is someone in need that I can be as amazing of a friend as Donna is to me, and my friend Lisa who has also helped me along the way.  My dad emailed me today that he is booking a flight out of town for a mandatory work conference to 630 the night of my surgery instead of that morning. Even though I will be in surgery and not be able to see him, it's nice to know he wants to be there and keep AJ company, even though he really doesn't have to.  These people have inspired me to do little acts of kindness to some people, someway that will just make their day. What is the point of living life to just live? It's the people in our lives who make it worth while. I hope when you read this that it can inspire you to think about the relationships you have and what little things you might be able to change to make things a little better. Sorry if this all seems too peppy and preachy but I guess I just feel lucky at the moment to have people in my life who make me feel I need to live every second I can to the fullest because they want me around in their lives. The power of friendship is an amazing thing. :)
