All Going According to Plan

Hello World!! Evidently the word is out on Joanie's Corner. Glad I have many followers. Hope I don't reveal tooo much. Yeah Right!!

I have known and dated Ron when we were 17 years old...high school sweathearts... We have both lived through deaths of our fathers at early ages of 13 and 14. So we have experienced that "life is not always fair" and have experienced God's little nudges of "remember this is the person you love", but this new "role" in our lives is something I never contemplated about as Ron as the CAREGIVER.  Ron has slid into his new role with such compassion. He hasn't even needed to call in his golf buddies for a consult. He has been very attentive to detail of medicine time and even brought in some backup for the few moments he needed to be away. Ron has gone beyond providing me with 38 wonderful years of consistent love and laughter and now caregiving. Our love for each other continually grows.

I have been feeling as well as could be expected. Had some sick moments this morning but much better tonight. This is a process of healing and I must be patient. The kids are continually showing us their love and concern and how they have grown into wonderful adults. I am so very proud of them.

We all are waiting to hear from the pathologists with only positive good news. So keep those prayers going as my little "life is not fair" is not quite over.

Thanks to everyone who reads the blog and wants to follow my journey. The door bell keeps ringing with friends and family stopping in with food and flowers. Thank you is not enough.

Have a Blessed & Thankful Thanksgiving to you and all your loved ones. The Pettineo Family is so blessed.
