The final entry

Where have I been these last 11 months? It has been a journey of trusting and waiting; a journey of trials and patience, but mostly a journey of hope. I had intended to blog about myself and my journey through my 59th year of life. You know, getting ready for the BIG SIX-O!! But shortly before I started my blog my husband's cancer returned and he had surgery to remove some melanoma spots. A few weeks after the surgery the spots returned, and then more and more spots appeared on his upper right arm area. He had just finished a year long Interferon treatment at the end of May, but a few weeks later the melanoma returned. Just a few small spots on the original site, but spots none the less. Surgery was scheduled for mid July to remove the spots. A week later the spots returned, right after my 59th birthday. I could as have cared less about blogging my way through my 59th year. My entire life and world were focused on Grant, and supporting him through his battle with melanoma. And it was and continues to be a battle. So I am bringing closure to my attempt to share my life through 59! 60 is right around the corner and it is what it is! We have been blessed through this entire journey with melanoma. I don't wish it on anyone, but the blessings are abundant, and the miracle is that after three and a half years of fighting this disease the melanoma remains on his skin and has not metastisized to his vital organs. The docs say Grant is "unique". I choose to think he is a walking miracle!
