Cheating today and stealing from Facebook

The image from 'On this Date' via Facebook... I'm cheating tonight and not typing so much...
It's definitely a 'cut and paste' kinda night and the bed is actually calling my name for once! 

I woke up this morning to a reminder on Facebook... both of them stung a little.  I've already mentioned the trip to Ireland and Scotland in previous posts, and the refund is in process, but seeing a reminder from Vanessa this morning brought back a feeling of anger again.  I hate there's so many things we didn't do... I'd give anything to go back and just live like there was not tomorrow... because it happened a lot sooner than I expected.

The other reminder was a feeling of pride and how Vanessa stepped out of her comfort zone thanks to a new found friend in Beth Fairchild.  Below is a post she had today...

I posted the following comment to Beth and meant every word:
Thank you for helping Vanessa find her 'inner-advocate'... she never was really big on getting up and speaking out, and honestly, she hated the spotlight. But with all she went through and all that we learned, she had to tell the story. It's amazing that with all the technology and medical breakthroughs we have today, the only one that works, and works fastest, is the way you are feeling... she was ahead of her 1st diagnosis (and knew before the result in 2011), also when she was diagnosed stage IV in 2013, brain mets in 2015 and CL in 2017. Stage IV NEEDS MORE and cancer needs to be wiped off of this Earth!!! Someone is going to kick this disease's ass... I was hoping it was Vanessa, and now I'm leaning on you. Bring this damn disease to an end... I believe you can do it!!!

I'm praying for a day with no cancer... a day my daughters won't have to worry about this dreaded disease.  I feel we're getting closer, and I pray it's sooner than later.

With that said, I'm actually planning on going to bed before midnight for the first time in nearly a month.  Last night's ramblings and restlessness has prepped me for a 'normal' nights sleep... keeping my fingers crossed :)
