This day last year I had my last round of chemo. Crazy how a year can seem so close and yet so far away. It’s enough in the past to feel distant yet because my reconstruction isn’t finished, it feels like something I can’t forget yet.

Patrick suggested we celebrate being a year past, and I agreed that was a great idea. We went to a local vegan brewery. We aren’t vegan, but their beer is good and they have an outdoor patio. Plus the food is actually pretty yummy.

I’m thankful for this year of healing. And I’m thankful for Patrick wanting to celebrate with me. I’m also thankful that very soon, I will be able to let it all go.
