Jimmy used to try to do something productive every day. It didn't matter how big it small. Just something he could focus on and say I accomplished this today. Since his passing, some days my productive thing is simply getting up and facing the world. I know sometimes when he was having a bad day, just going outside to check the garden was an accomplishment. Playing a song so we could dance in the kitchen or the patio even if he didn't always make it through the entire song. It represented the fact that he was still living life on his terms and not letting HCC control everything. He also knew that every dance was a precious memory for me to cherish. Now I realize how very precious time is and that we never know how much we have left. So I try to make sure the grandkids especially have wonderful memories of doing things with MawMaw and I make sure I tell lots of Papa Jimmy stories because I want the boys to remember the fun they had with him. Also letting the girls know him through the stories since they're so young they'll only remember him through my stories. I want them to know what a brave and wonderful man he was and how very much he loved us. ❤️

I am 47 and about to hit my 2 years of diagnosis & treatment & I'm doing very well. It can be scary & absolutely yes to feeling like talking with another warrior is easier than family sometimes. I just put one foot in front of the other & have learned to make myself a priority after a life of people pleasing. You've got this! And know that the bad days never last & rest whenever your body says to!!
