Thank you for the music...

Whether it was a mixtape, a specially burned CD or Spotify playlist, I am of the opinion that there is nothing that shows love quite like the sharing of your favorite music.

For as long as I can remember, music has played a very important part in my life, and I am very lucky that my perhaps odd but extremely loving family know this to be the case.

Tonight, I am spending my first night in hospital proper (I am not counting the multiple trips to the ED over the past couple of weeks) on what is the start of a very long and hard journey to recovery. Right now, I am listening to a playlist specially made to raise my spirits and it is working. It is amazing how much love you through music.

Three and half weeks ago I got a diagnosis that at first shocked me, then made me angry and then made me resolute. Yes, it is cancer. Although we are still trying to figure things out, all I can say is that this cancer decided to pick a fight with the wrong girl!

I am staying very positive about this journey, and I know with the support of family and my friends that are like family I can continue to be strong. Because when the people I love do things like make me playlists I can feel an inner strength that is screaming “fight, fight, fight”. That is exactly what I am going to do with every ounce I have!

So, thank you for the music! In case you are interested here is the link to my playlist. ❤️Deb
