Hi there,

I was pretty nervous all day. Breast Cancer run in my family; mom and three of her sisters have fought it and one aunt on my dads side as well.

The testing took forever  but it went well. Brickman was in contact with me throughout the test. He was very supportive. I ended up calling him when I was done and we talked for about 10 minutes on how it went and what the doctors want me to do in the future.  He said very supportive things.  We also talked about the kids and how they are. The little one has been having trouble getting her homework done for the past month. I told him that I would be going to a festival in his town on Saturday and if the kids got their chores done I would love to take them if they were interested in going. He seemed really open to that. We talked about a surgery he will be having at the end of the month and I told him if he needed a ride there and home I am happy to go with him, he’s going to think about that. I kept the conversation light.

He talked about how he is working hard on not worrying about every single little thing, that he is taking days one day at a time.  “So am I” I said. We talked about events that are coming up that we are both interested in.

Yesterday morning I sent the kids a St. Patrick’s Day card just to let them know I am thinking of them and I hope to see them soon.

It was really good to talk to him on the phone. I missed that connection with him.
