Putting it away

What goes up must come down.

So it goes with Christmas decorations, and today is the day Tom and I have agreed we will say goodbye, at least temporarily, to the festive lights, garland, tree and all the other pretty and sentimental doo-dads we have accumulated over the years. They will go back into their boxes and tucked away in the crawlspace until next year.

What goes up must come down with my tumor, too. How nice it would be to schedule a day for that! OK, tumor, it's been fun while it lasted, but now it's time to pack you away -- forever.

I am holding fast to the thought that the day will come to pack the tumor away. It helps that so many family members and friends are holding that thought for me also, and offering prayers in support of its fruition.
