It's Been Awhile - HELLO

It's been awhile and I apologize, but not having a computer at home and loosing my job in October 08 left me to the usage of my local library computer weekly which basically led to 4-5 hours of job searching on a weekly basis. I have found a temp position that should last about a year, but I continue to look for full-time employment with benefits.

For all the newbies, welcome to the most wonderful family you will ever find on the Internet. Everyone on this board is an inspiration to all

A little history. I was DX in July 06 with Stage II colon cancer. Had emergency surgery, did 6 rounds of FLOFOX and since Dec 06 I have been NED. I now get checked twice a year with the next one taking place sometime in April of 09. There is not a day that goes by that I still do not think of the disease or even the word itself. It is true what they tell you. "there will come a day that you will not think of this disease everyday", which I now find true.

My son, Chris, moved to Chicago, IL in Dec 08 and purhcased a townhome in Lake County, IL. He is now having home sick issues and wants to sell his home he purchased on 2 March 09, and even consider leaving his company, which in fact, is very large, stable and secure. As a parent, you want to help your child, make them happy and make them feel happy, so right now we (me and hubby) are struggling with own feelings of wanting him back home, but are doing our BEST in trying to explain the benefits of being on his own. I am proud of my son and that he misses his family. I even told him I would be willing to relocate to his area.

I will get back to my Friday Riddles and I am hoping to make Colonplooza 7 this year. I would love to finally meet everyone.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND AND LOVE YA ALL!!!!
