Thankfulness and then some...

I have something to be thankful for today. My mom was diagnosed with breast cancer this past December and had to have surgery and start chemotherapy. I'm relieved to say that her surgery was successful with no complications. While I'm thankful that the surgery went well, the hard part is now about to begin. Months and months of chemotherapy, pain for my mom, and stress for my family. While I'm happy that everything went well, it is a bittersweet feeling.
