Heavenly Hopes

I was on the plane home from Utah after a few days of visiting my daughter at school with my mom when I read this poem. I shared it with my mom because I thought it was highly appropriate for me and for her. We were both in tears by the end! When I imagine Heaven, it definitely involves a beach. And it is written into my will that I want my ashes scattered into the sea at Snipes Key off Key West. The beach –water -- is my happy place, my soothing, calming, carefree place.

I don’t have much to report from chemo today, just thought I’d share that poem. It will go into the binder I’m creating with my will, my funeral plans, and my plethora of passwords and other important info. I want others to have if something happens to me.

I just need to contact my doctor to find out if I can change one of my chemo dates because it falls on a day I want to fly home to MN for my  friend’s memorial service. So, that’s all that is on my mind regarding cancer this week. Just living life and enjoying the time I had with my daughter and am having with my mom. I will talk to my doctor in two weeks. Not sure if I have chemo first or my doctor appt. first. Will write again after whichever comes first. Stay safe and healthy, everyone, and enjoy the last couple weeks of summer!
