I'm stronger than I ever knew....

We woke up today kind of late, Tony hasn't been sleeping well the past few nights. I had plans to meet my friend Kelley for dinner tonight. Tony asked if I minded if he went with me and he could meet his friend Jeff for dinner. These are our coworkers and good friends!! Of COURSE I didn't mind! If he felt up to it I would LOVE for him to go. I had several errands on my agenda today. We got ready and then he rested. He gets so tired right now! But we ran some errands, of course my driving almost gave him a heart attack, but it does anyone! I HATE to drive and just like to get to my destination as fast as possible! We went and picked up Tonys medication/prefilled syringes from pharmacy..ummmm thank GOD for our insurance. He get 2 injections a day, this comes to almost $6000.00 a month. No wonder I had to spend a half day on the phone to get them approved! I called around and found someone on a scooter that could give Tony a ride in the plant, he felt too tired to walk around much! Thanks Uncle Carl!!!!! Tony visited some friends and went out to eat with Jeff. Me and Kelley got in her car and she handed me a card and an adorable little box. The card was amazing! I will type it at the end of this post...I cried! Inside the box was a list of names of people me and Tony work with, some friends, some co workers. There were 2 awesome yankee candles inside and cash.. a LOT of cash! OMG I cried and cried. This just astounded me. The list of names were people that gave money to Tony and I. Then Kelley told me that she purchased (her own money) lots of yellow Livestrong bracelets. Everyone that gave money for me and Tony received a Livestrong bracelet. How awesome is that to help us and raise awareness...Kelley is just awesome. I love her! XOXOX
I finally found Tony at the other end of the plant talking to his boss and Tammy, I knew we had to go....we were both so tired! We stopped and picked up a few groceries and furnace filters. (stuff you don't think about while you're sick!) Tony is still very very worn out, but he is feeling better, his color is back in his cheeks and he was very glad we got out of this house! We had a pretty good good day! thank you Jesus for giving us this day!

This is what the card read that Kelley got for me and Tony..
"The Oak Tree" (a message of encouragement)

A mighty wind blew night and day
It stole its boughs and pulled its bark
until the oak was tired and stark
but still the oak tree held its ground
while other trees fell all around.
The weary wind gave up and spoke,
"How can you still be standing, Oak?"
The oak tree said, I know that you
can break each branch of mine in two,
carry every leaf away,
shake my limbs and make me sway.
But I have roots stretched into the earth,
growing stronger since my birth,
you'll never touch them, for you see,
They are the deepest part of me.
Until today I wasn't sure
of just how much I could endure.
But now I've found, with thanks to you,
I'm stronger than I ever knew.

Especially now, try to remember that you're stronger than
any problem you encounter or any disappointment life will bring.
Thinking of you
Believing in you
Caring for you...Goodnight all...I hope you had a blessed day...I did
