Five Year Anniversary

I was sitting around talking with a friend at the Arts and Crafts Group tonight when I came to realize what today was. We were talking about how long we nursed until and then I brought up how I would have nursed Samantha longer if it wasn't because of my tumor. After chit chattin' about it for a little bit she asked how long ago it was. It was then that I realized that five years ago today was when I had the surgery to have it removed. Now it almost seems like it never happened. I only have the memory of the dent below my right ear and also every time I eat I sweat below my right ear too. It's not always that noticeable unless I have to do a lot of chewing. =) That's when it really sweats. It's funny now to look back and think about how nervous I was. There was a chance of temporary or even permanent facial paralyses on the right side of my face. I think through a lot of blessings and prayer that I was blessed to have neither. We even went and got family pictures taken right before this happened just in case I didn't look the same again. As I am sitting here reliving the moment five years ago I now am realizing how much Heavenly Father was watching over me and new my fears. I truely was blessed. What a learning experience it is and was for me.
