To catch you up on the cancer scare saga, the soldier had his biopsy today with the grand cross in the sky and it went pretty well considering no one wants anyone cutting into their face.

I paced the waiting room while he was in there and picked up a People magazine featuring a story on Patrick Swayze’s cancer. They have a series of pictures of him with his wife of 30 years, Lisa Niemi that were taken over the years. They met when they were teenagers and they are so obviously happy and in love to this day.

The soldier has told me many times he thinks had we married when we were young, we’d have made it. He thinks we would have figured it out. I have never been convinced until I saw those pictures today. You think all people do ugly things to each other, that it is part of growing up but really they don’t. The soldier and I have never done anything ugly to each other and I can’t believe we are ever going to.

He came out after surgery and said the oral surgeon (different from the surgeon who did the consult) said he really doubted what he cut out was cancer so we left their feeling… well, we just left there that’s all. Does not look like this is our road. Thank you, God.
