I have been so, so busy with teaching and tons of paperwork (I do it sitting next to Lily's bed) that I haven't been around for a few weeks. Lily is celebrating 23 months today, and I feel so, so fortunate to have her here with me. We went for a walk, ate her favorite treats, and had tons of hugs and kisses, followed by many words of love. During our walk, a neighbor pulled up in her car, rolled her window down, and proceeded to tell me what an inspiration Lily is. I know that she inspires me, and I am just so grateful to have her. So, we'll end the day with some peanut butter and be thankful that we have today.
Thanks so much to all of you for always being there,
Joan and Lily
Now, if I can just get caught up with the paperwork:(
Our beautiful Lily was diagnosed with osteosarcoma in her front leg on 12/14/11 at age 8 and had amp on 12/16/11. She completed 5 rounds of carbo. She was so brave and kicked cancer's butt daily! She lived life fully for 4 years, 3 months, and 15 days after her amp. My angel is a warrior princess. I miss her so much.
Happy 23 month Ampuversary Lily. You are doing an awesome job of kicking some butt. You are an inspiration to everyone. Keep going girl. I love the fact that she got to have her favorite treats and special day with you Joan.
Hugs
