Another “R” Word

Life is a merry-go-round.  Like the kind where you get on, chose the perfect horse, and start spinning, only to realize that you’ve had three sticks of cotton candy, ice cream, AND all those nachos, and while they were all delightful going down, they won’t be at all fun coming back up which is exactly what’s going to happen in a few moments.

Life is sort of like that.

We are dealing with the recurrence of Lanty’s lymphoma, just when we’d settled into a new “normal” of remission and every-other week chemo.  He’s okay for today.  We’re all okay for the moment.  But life can change in a blink, so for now, we’re just trying to keep the nachos down.

But look at how precious Lanty is:

We keep holding on to that.

    He is precious. <3

    By the way, I have no idea what the Friend Connect thing is down there, but I just joined it.

    You know what? I’m not sure what it is either. But I love that you did it.

    I’m so sorry to hear about Lanty. Poor little guy. I agree, though, he is precious in that pic. So content and in the moment. Cats know what “live for today” means.
