30 Days Of Jessica...Day 16 - plus a little extra

A picture of someone who inspires you.


I've tried for a couple of days to think of someone that I admire...someone who isn't a complete cliche.  So I've decided that there are characterics about a lot of people that I admire.
  • I admire Tammy D's "balls."  She has no qualms telling you what she thinks of you, but is big enough to apologize when she over-steps.
  • I admire my mom's strength and good-naturedness...no matter the situation.
  • I admire women who are confident in their looks and body.
  • I admire people who sacrifice their wants and needs for their loved ones or the betterment of society.
  • I admire Stephen's work ethic.
  • I admire Nathan's layed-back style.
  • I admire people who overlook their fears to chase their dreams.
  • ...and many more.

Momma and Daddy spent the day at Duke so he could have his EKG, PFT, echo, etc.  Then tonight I went over there so that Momma and I could over the "calendar" and decide which days each of us will be taking off.  Momma works on the weekend as her full-time and works during the week at the office.  So Momma will be using nearly all of her vacation time to stay with Daddy in Durham on the weekends and she and I will trade off during the week with her staying with Daddy for 3 days, and I stay with him the other 2.  It will be hectic 3-4 weeks, and lonely, because the nights that I'll be with Daddy Stephen will be off from work.  But you know what?  It'll be okay.  And Stephen is okay with it and understands.

I hope Daddy doesn't hurt too much with the neupogen and chemo.  I think that will be the toughest part of it.  And I hope that this transplant will kick him into remission and we can be done with this ugly business.  They were given a blog address today during his orientation so I'm excited about using that to update his progress for our family and friends.  I will also be keeping this one up as well!

Thanks for listening!
