Morgan was soooo excited to go to school today! She couldn't wait to see her friends. She did pretty well and made it part way through the day before she called me to check her out. Her Aunts Autumn & Charity drove down from Rexburg with a birthday cake and surprises for both of us. They all went to the movie just to get Morgan out of the house and involved in something non-cancer related. It wore her out but was a great diversion.
So many people came to visit and wish her well. It was a good day overall and amazing to me that it has been 16 years since she was born. Morgan is so much fun and always saying or doing things that you don't expect....even now, she keeps us laughing. When I see that, it makes me feel better that she is being herself...it means that she is feeling okay. But, she has many times commented that she "doesn't want to do this anymore." She is coming to terms with what is really going on.
At the end of the day, we talked for a while in her room. She asked me to relay a message on the blog. She is worn out. So many visitors and well-wishers is exhausiting her. She feels bad because she knows they mean well. But the more everyone tells her they are praying for her or are sorry, she can't escape being the "cancer girl." This is all soooo overwhelming for her, for her family, and I am sure for all of you as well.
I will say though, that she perks up when her friends come around. It does make a positive difference. So keep showing up, just spread it out, limit your time, and don't come in large groups.
Believe me, we all feel the love, concern, support, and spiritual blessings that are coming from each of you. We couldn't do this without it. In fact, we are a little overwhelmed at how much support there really is out there for us. Know that we love you back. We appreciate you and all that is being done on our behalf, truly. Thank you!
