At work we listen to a classic rock station called "The Sound", they play only vinyl albums. It was triple play Thursday, where they play 3 songs from each group or singer throughout the day. One set was The Beatles. The last chemo treatment I had, my brother, Vance, my sister-in-love, Barbi, my niece, Brianna, and my nephew Brad all came down to stay with me for the treatment. I was feeling rather down that day (details to be given in another post, originally published on my Facebook page), anyway, when talking to my niece Brianna that night, explaining to her what I had experienced earlier that day and what I had discovered just before they called to say they had arrived, she said: "That Beatles song applies here: "All you need is love."" We laughed! It was true!
Today they played that song, just as I was thinking about the chemo treatment due tomorrow. Five hours in a chemo chair, getting sick while it's happening, is something you just naturally learn to dread...with a passion. The song played and I remembered Brianna's words, that special night my family was with me before heading out that next morning for that dreaded intravenous monster. I called Brianna immediately to share, that even though I knew she could not be with me for 'this' treatment, she was still with me in spirit. Another tap on the shoulder from God saying, "I'm with you. Hang in there."
I love my family!
