VIP Treatment

Sporting my short and sassy new wig (and our treasures of the day).

The past two weeks have been pretty uneventful, with the exception of enjoying my new wigs and today we were honored to receive VIP treatment at this afternoon's White Sox game.  My brother was kind enough to reached out to both the Cubs and Sox organizations several months ago.  I will always be a Cubs fan, but my boys tend to like both teams.  Nonetheless, two weeks ago we received a VIP parking pass and 6 tickets directly from the White Sox organization.  Our highlights of the game:

• VIP parking, once again we were lucky enough to only be four cars from the main entrance.  
• Being escorted to our front row seats behind the Sox dugout.
• Getting a ball from Gordon Beckham (Zevin's favorite Sox player).
• Getting a White Sox t-shirt thrown to us.
• Being on the Jumbo-Tron multiple times.
• Having one of my mom's friends text her during the game...informing us they saw us on tv every time a right-hand batter was up (due to our seat positioning)!
• Eating ballgame hot dogs, peanuts, popcorn, etc...  
• The boys getting their picture taken with the mascot.
• Enjoying spending time with my family and seeing my boys smile.

My hope in life, is that one day....my boys will see just how lucky they are (when we were showered with many special events from our generous friends and family, as well as extremely kind and thoughtful organizations).  They are experiencing things in life that are beyond what many kids would only dream of.  For them to be grateful in life (not selfish or spoiled) and extend their generosity to others (somehow/someway in the cancer community) would be my greatest gift in life. 

Up next....this coming Monday (23rd) I will get my next round of chemo (Avastin) and then Tuesday we leave for a family vacation with my parents to Gulf Shores.  This is kind of what I consider my one year celebration, since Gulf Shores is where we spent time as a family after my initial diagnosis last year.  The beach has a way of calming me and soothing my soul.  

Peace, Love & Miracles
