We may be dealing with cancer or the many side effects of treatment, but there's no reason why we shouldn't celebrate all the holidays and special days in the year in the same way that we have done.

Thankful here that I got to enjoy another holiday with family and especially the three little grandchildren who are still in awe of dressing up and saying trick or treat ! We did not have any trick or treaters at our house again this year. Our housing area is small with only 22 houses and no little ones that I have seen. But, our son and daughter in law brought over our grandkids ( ages 3, 2, and 1) in costume as a surprise to us. I would not have wanted to miss that for the world !
No matter the residual impact of what we have been through and dealing with, every day given to us is a delight to share with others. Again, Happy Halloween and Happy every day to you too ! And....thank you for reminding us !
