I am truly blessed...
One thing has become very clear in the last couple of weeks since my diagnosis. I have the most supportive friends and family you could ever imagine! I have been overwhelmed at the amount of generosity, love and support that has come my way. Those close to me as well as people I haven't been overly close with in years have offered food, rides, a shoulder to cry on, and everything else imaginable. God has truly blessed me by making each and every one of you a part of my life. My good friend Beth told me when we were first talking about my diagnosis that she and her family were there for me and so happy to be part of "Team Michelle". This is how I came up with the name for my blog, as you are all a key part of my team. You are my prayer team, my support team, my "help me even if I may not even know I need help" team. :) I can't think of any better people to have by my side in this long road ahead! Thank you to each and every one of you for the gift of friendship you have given me. It truly is appreciated more than you can ever know! GO TEAM MICHELLE!!! :) Let's show this cancer who is boss!

ReplyDeleteMichelle- I am so glad you are doing this blog. It will help you process this whole experience in ways you can't fathom yet and you'll tangibly feel the support of your family and friends. Your courage inspires all of us! Thanks for your honesty and inviting us to join your team!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I am also glad you are doing this blog! Often when I hear updates from my mom I am chasing kids or doing something and it's hard to remember everything she tells me, so now we can hear it right from you. I will pray pray pray for you and your family through this journey until you are cancer free! You are so courageous and positive. Keep it up and know we are by your side in spirit though we are far away. Love, Jen, JJ, Emma and Katelyn
ReplyDeleteMichelle, I would consider it a privilege to be part of the team. Count on me for anything. Meals by next weekend - childcare - rides - cleaning - you name it. You can do this. I've seen you backstage. you can be tough!
ReplyDeleteHey neighbor, so sorry you have to go through this. Thanks for your thoughtfulness in sharing the journey with others. You are an inspiration! Please let us know if you need us to watch your house, roll out the garbage cans, bring over food, do some laundry, come over to visit, ...
ReplyDeleteThank you Michelle for sharing your story. I am praying for you daily and I hope that God blesses you through this with more than you can ever imagine. It's funny how these trials have a way of bringing us closer to him and relying more on him to get us through. It is also amazing how many people come out of the woodwork to help pray, help or to just give an encouraging word. You are a strong woman and a fighter and I know that whatever comes your way you are going to fight it and like you said..."show it who is BOSS!".
