Second Guessing

Yesterday, I received the BEST card in the mail!  It reads ...

Tough Cookie

1.  Someone with just the right mix of sweetness and strength.

2.  One who doesn't crumble under pressure.

3.  A fighter who's too busy kicking butt to sit down and cry, but know it's okay to do both.

4.  A person who doesn't always ask for support, but has lots of friends who would do anything to help.

Hang in there, 

Tough Cookie

And for the handwritten note ...

Jill, 

Wishing you lots of luck & energy this weekend for the 3-Day walk!  Just icing on the cake to prove you came through the past 12 months with flying colors.  No more "second guessing" - you won!

Congratulations & love,

Troy & Jan

I have written about Jan in the past.  She is a nine year breast cancer survivor and the mother of one of my best childhood friends.  She has been an amazing support for me throughout this journey.  And, her timing is always impeccable ...

As you can imagine, I am often "second guessing" ... praying that I did, in fact, win.  There are many days that the fear of a recurrence is overwhelming.  And, unfortunately, that has been the case in recent weeks.  So, as usual, this card came at the PERECT time ... it almost took my breath away.

Whether it was because Jan "gets it" or because God is working behind the scenes in my life ... I will never know ...

Either way, I feel so very blessed to have them both in my life ...
