dad,
i think you'd be proud of me. i've really toughened up these last few years.
tonite i made dinner without even going to the store. i just used what i had. (a novel idea for me)
i've lived life without a cell phone for a few years. (glad that's over now!)
a ran from the parking lot into my radiation appointment today, even though i really, really didn't want to. but i knew i could do it, and i did. (my personal goal was to run from the parking lot into my radiation appointment each day, no matter how worn down i was feeling. my little way of staying strong.)
i've started putting on a sweater instead of turning up the thermostat.
i've been trying to say no to the children every once in a while.
i even take the trash out once in a while without being asked!
thanks for trying to help me be tough when i was younger. i think the lesson has finally sunk in.
i can do hard things and i'll be okay.
love you dad.

I don't know about dad, but I'm very proud of you. Especially taking out the trash without being asked. I could use some help on that one! I'm glad your doing so well during radiation and keeping yourself positive and strong. You inspire me!
I liked reading this because Brandon often tries to get our kids to do things to make them extra tough or brave and its good to know it will be appreciated some day :) Thanks for the cute Christmas card and we hope to keep hearing good news! love, amber
