So I had all these plans to do tons of projects this weekend. I wanted to finish up the 1,2,3 What Will It Be Project. It got started but didn’t get finished. I got some great news this weekend so every thing was put to the side and we spent Sunday celebrating with my bestie and her husband.
Karen and I have spent so many special moments in each others lives. We have been present for graduations (high school and college), we have traveled together, celebrated birthdays we didn’t want to acknowledge and Karen is forever my grand kids Auntie Karen. There has been so many other events to many to list. Our friendship has been and will always be a resting place for each of us. This weekend we celebrated good news. She is coming to the end of her treatments from having cancer and all resent test results all clear. I have never felt so much relief as I did when she told me all test were clear. As always she is a giver and brought me a gift. This t-shirt sums me up to a T.
Tonight was the first time she got to see Scarlett. My daughter and I were so touched when she first put her eyes on Scarlett, Karen cried. I teared up as well I think we were all afraid a few months ago that this day might not happen. That Scarlett might not meet her Auntie Karen. Here we are and she is fine. Life goes on and we now start to rock this new release she has been given. Look out world here we come. All this makes you realize that life is short and you might not get another day to rock the life you live. We have plenty of places we want to travel to, with and without our hubbies. If they are nice we might drag them along. I’m excited to take a trip with her next month with laughter, giggles and lots of shopping.
So I didn’t finish my to do list this weekend. I just sat it down on Sunday and said it can wait. Sometimes we have to do just that, sit it down. Moments in life come often, special moments less often but moments to celebrate life should never be taken lightly. We shared a great meal, followed by strawberry short-cake and wine. We finished the evening talking about the past and all the good times with our neighbor family in Lucas. We talked until almost 10pm way past my bedtime but I really didn’t care not even this morning when I was so tired. I can still see her face tearing up at the sight of Scarlett, laughing about old times and enjoying the wine. The best part is I get to see her more and more and I’m in love with that already. I love that Ethel of mine. Have a beautiful, wonderful Blue Happy week!
