Celebrating This One

Bunkey turned 60 just a week ago. As I sit here this evening I am amazed at her resilience. No one I know would handle all that she has handled in quite the way she has handled it. This latest round of chemo is taking its toll on my dear friend. She works hard to manage the syptoms without taking any steps back. Each day she pulls herself up and out. She pushes herself to walk one more block or to try to use her oxygen machine less or to take herself to the back porch and read instead of giving into a nap. She is stronger and braver than anyone I have ever met. Glad she has made it to 60 for purely selfish reasons, I don’t know what I would do without her friendship. Praying for good news when she has her next round of scans. Spending time with her whenever I can.
