Another thought for the day....

I am bummed with my friends. I had ONE friend call me on my bday and one email. That's it. I didn't want a party because we are going to Orlando in October to celebrate my 30th bday and me being 1 year cancer free. :) I am sooo excited and wouldn't spend my time any differently than with my family.

Some people (cough Kate cough :) ) think I am NUTS for spending so much time with my family. I have a very unique relationship with my family. I can't explain it, but they ARE my best friends. They are the only ones who are there when it is my birthday, when I am sad, happy, have an issue with my daughter, had cancer....the list goes on. I can officially tell you that I had 3 friends stop by, bring food and/or come stay with us when I had cancer. I can't tell you how much that means to me and how much that made me sad.

I just figured it out - I had a ton of friends before I got sick - or so I thought. You really find out who your friends are when something happens to you. I got pregnant and some of my "friends" quit talking to us either b/c they were trying and couldn't or b/c they were single and couldn't deal. Um, ok - whatever. But then I was diagnosed with cancer and it was like I was the cancer - the rest of them didn't call, come around or email. It was horrible. I know that people handle things in different ways, but it has been a year since and I still haven't heard from some of them. I guess that's why I put so much stock in my family. They have been there through thick and thin and I would do the same for them - and would for any friend that stuck their neck out for me.


I have so much to write, I probably should update this blog more :) I will commit to that in the coming days :)
