Just found these little quotes that had I saved (would just cut and paste into an email and send it to myself) in the period between Jenny's diagnosis of multiple liver tumors on Wed 11 Mar 2009, and her diagnosis of a 4cm brain tumor on Thu 11 Jun 2009 and resulting neurosurgery on Wed 17 Jun 2009. Interesting to see what resonated with my thoughts and feelings during that time. Here they are:
"Don't think of yourself as a statistic; think of yourself as an individual," - Tue 26 May 2009
"You can't let statistics get in the way of your recovery and progress." - Tue 26 May 2009
"it's not who you are, it's what you do" - Thu 28 May 2009
"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you are happy then you will be successful" - Wed 03 Jun 2009
"You're constantly making choices, and your choices determine your experience" - Wed 03 Jun 2009
And a few months later ..
"Everybody has to die, You don't know how you're going to die. You don't know when you're going to die. It's strange to have that knowledge that this will do it. You don't get angry at it. You just live with it and keep going." - Thu 8 Oct 2009
Two days after the above photo was taken (during her first treatment on a new round of chemotherapy), Jenny would race in the DBNSW 2009 State Titles at Penrith where she stroked the Pacific Dragons Mixed B Boat. Some photos from that day are here.
The following week we would enjoy a lovely holiday in Cairns where we would celebrate Jenny and Joanne's Birtday.
