Ramblings

   I had the honor of being interviewed by Lindsey Adkinson of the Brunswick News last Tuesday. Fellow teacher and breast cancer survivor, Rhonda Barlow, arranged for Lindsey to do a story about how my students are supporting me at this time. The story ran in the May 16th edition. The reporter wrote a wonderful article mentioning how the students got together and created shirts, decorated my door, and brought gifts of all kinds.
   Tomorrow is the last day of school with the kids. It's bittersweet. Everyone is ready for summer, teachers and students alike. I'm hoping I will get my wish and be able to move up to tenth grade with this group of students. It will be much easier on me not having to explain my condition. I'll probably still be going through chemo when school starts. I may or may not lose my hair. It depends on the type of chemo and my reaction to it.
   Surgery in ten more days. I'm ready for the waiting to be over, but am a little anxious. Things are going to be challenging, but I have an amazing family and wonderful friends to help me through.
