Surprise!

Tomorrow I will celebrate 12 years of living with leukemia. I was diagnosed on August 19th, on a similar, hot, muggy day. This evening my husband, parents, and I traveled to our daughter's home, believing she was having a 3rd Birthday Party for our Grand-Dog, Allie. When I walked into the front door, the home was filled with family and friends. The surprise party was for me -- a Celebration of Life party. I am not easily surprised. Usually someone in our family leaks classified information and true surprise parties rarely live up to their expectations. This one was different. No leaks of clandestine information, perfect execution of all covert instructions -- it was the surprise party to top all surprise parties! To life ........
