Life on Kenny Rd

Right now, I'm sitting in the room with Melissa at chemo. We have about 2 hours left to go, and I just want to get home so she can be comfortable. What makes this one slightly rougher than most is the fact that today is our 10 year wedding anniversary. It's hard for me to think happy thought and about all the fun times we've had while she sitting there getting pumped full of chemo.

That being said, it's been a wonderful decade of marriage. We've had our share of ups and downs, similar to other marriages. I can't think of any other way to have it. We have a wonderful son who has brought us so much joy. Our daughter is a wonderful young lady who has a bright future ahead of her. I'm married to a wonderful woman who puts up with so much of my idiosyncrasies that she should be knighted or given a medal for it.

I know, in my heart of hearts, that we will be married for a long time to come. I can't imagine my life without her in it, and I will do all that I can to make sure she stays in it. I consider myself very lucky that we've been married this long, as many couples don't last this long.

I love you Melissa, with all my heart and soul.

Update

Today was the first day of Chemotherapy. She did very well. It felt like we spend more time waiting for the blood test results to come back then the actual chemo. I must say that the nurses at the James Clinic at the Martha Morehouse medical center are some of the best nurses I've ever seen.

Right now she is resting with the third drug that needs to be continuously pumped into her body for 46 hours. While we were told about the potential side affects, I'm hoping they are limited, so she can enjoy having her brother here this weekend.

We are very hopeful that this will treat the cancer and push it into remission forever. Prayer and determination will takes us very far.
