Just last night Mark shared with me a song that Martina McBride sang on "Good Morning America", that focused on cancer and getting through it. It was an amazing song, and in many ways touched us and was so close to our heart. It really is love that will get Mark and I through this all.
Mark will be leaving tomorrow morning for 7 weeks of training in California. I like to think of myself as a pretty independent person, but for the last 6 years of my life Mark and I have not really been apart for that long at a time. I realize other people have dealt with longer times, I have a coworker who has her spouse who has been overseas for almost a year--and here I am complaining about 7 weeks. After all the things we have gone through, its hard to give up time I could be spending with him, but I know it is something great.
I think my life is finally stabilizing - or maybe I am just accepting things. It is rather crazy to think that in a course of a couple years Mark lost his job (and many there after due to health/time constraints), Mark's health took a dramatic decline which eventually ended in kidney failure and starting dialysis, my parents divorced, and on top of that I have had to pick up a couple other jobs to make ends meet. Through all of this though, the love between Mark and I has grown exponentially. I am so lucky to have him in my life.
Always praying for you Kate. How long have you known Mark?
