Friends

Jeff and I had some great talks last night. We are both so tired but can't seem to really sleep. We doze and then wake up from anxiety and weird dreams. So we just talked. We really like to just basically count our blessings. So last night I was telling him about all the emails, phone calls, text messages and visits. He was very comforted by all of that. During a crisis like cancer you really find assurance in your true friends. Yes, a few people have surprised us and have left us in the dust but cancer is scary and it might be too much for some people. But really that's how we want it. No drama, just love and support. And that's how real friends do it anyway. Jeff gave the best example,"I thinks it's funny when people see me and ask how I'm doing. I always say great even though that's not the truth at all. My real friends know what I mean and are asking because they sincerely want to know how I am. And people who ask so they can gossip or just make conversation don't really care about the answer anyway."
We've got into the habit of calling our friends and family "our team". We love to think of it that way. It's a group of people all working toward and wanting the same goal. And a team wants to win! Thanks again for being on our team. We feel like were unbeatable together. We will fight and win and beat cancer!

Exhausted,
Jeff and Leta
