June 1...Chey graduates from high school. Ugh, that makes me feel "old." Yes, I know I am NOT old but tell that to my body especially after I have been in my yard or going through the junk (past) in my garage. I will have a
June 1...Cory will be a 4th grader. Wow...a 4th grader. Little man has been through so much. Having to be in the 3rd grade has been extremely hard for him. All of his classmates moved to a different campus this year and he was left behind. He was only able to complete 8 weeks of school last year because of his diagnosis with Leukemia...I ABSOLUTELY HATE IT THAT I CAN SPELL THAT WORD WITH SUCH EASE. He was mad because he had to stay in the 3rd grade, he was mad because he had to leave regular class and get special help, he was mad he had to go to speech, he was mad because he had to go to occupational therapy at school and he is mad he still goes to occupational therapy at the hospital. He is sad because he feels like his friends don't like him anymore but that will be better next year in 4th grade.
June 1...Changes...I used to hate them when they came. I loved having a routine, having everything under control, no drama, perfectly calm and knowing just what was going to happen....BORING....but God was a good teacher because I no longer dread it. When your world is turned upside down, sideways, inside out and just about every way imaginable, the changes that come are okay. In the hospital, we always joked that we liked to be boring because that meant Cory was doing great. But looking back and thinking about all we went through, now I see change as a time for growth, getting stronger and to see what you're made of...and it will surprise you what you will find.
