Christina worked for a man who had an envelope labeled "hit by a bus" on the outside. I never saw it but assumed it had all the important financial stuff in there along with personal messages to his family just in case he wasn't able to say goodbye.
So, just in case I get hit by a bus tomorrow I wanted to leave a public note thanking the people that have helped C and I so much through our journey this year. I won't use last names and sometimes only an initial to protect your privacy. So let me me say thank you to:
K-you have been an angel in our lives since C met you. I don't ever take for granted all of the wonderful generosity you have shown over the past few years. You are amazing!
Mo and Bill- since meeting you in Capri, our life is better. Period.You are the classiest couple I have ever met. I don't have many heroes in my life but Billy O' is one of them. Every time we think of you, laughter and smiles follow. Especially the stories of your French lessons!!!
Jo- You are solid. Rock solid. You are always there when we need something. We love you.
Den and Lea- you have been so supportive and generous since day one of the cancer journey. We cannot thank you both enough. The keys were epic!
Annie-They say that laughter is the best medicine. Well, if you could bottle your sparkling personality, then millions of people would be cured of disease. And boredom. You really do light up a room!
In laws- I know the news of your daughter being diagnosed with breast cancer was a shot to the gut but you both have been very so helpful. Anytime we need something, the answer is yes. That means a lot to the both of us.
Rosie- your daily prayers were answered! I love hearing from you and hope all is well with you:)
TPG peeps- Wow, the fact that C still loves to go to work each day is huge. It's been a big part of her recovery. T, Tricia, Jimmy, Maggie, MP, Eva and many more-you are the bestest!
CS- you have been very supportive to C and I. We cannot wait for opening day 2016 so we can celebrate with you and the gang. It's our favorite day of the year. No kidding!
C's cousins and Aunts/Uncle- the love you have poured from your heart towards Christina has been incredible. I know now why she is so blessed to have all of you in her life.
Nieces- We love you to pieces! Thanks for making Nina laugh and smile.
Asao- You make C happy when you text or email her. Don't stop...
Tom M- You and your family have been in our lives for 15 years now. Thanks for all of the notes of support. You are a bedrock of stability and have always been so thoughtful and generous.
Mirella- You are so graceful and beautiful. You are like an aunt to Christina. We love you so much!
This is far from a complete list but I wanted to put it out there for all to see. Oh, and if I actually DO get hit by a bus tomorrow, can someone please take Christina to her surgery on the 21st. I will be permanently unavailable it seems:)

Extra! Extra! Extra! Read all about it...
I hope all of your Thanksgiving holidays were fulFILLING (get it?)..Sorry, I could not resist.
Christina is continuing to inspire and amaze every day. She is gaining strength and endurance with each passing day. She ran "double days" on both Saturday and Sunday which is 14 miles per day split between two separate runs. Pretty amazing stuff for Cancer kid!
Her hair is growing back slowly but steadily and hopefully within a couple months, she can start wearing a natural short hair style to work. I know she is gonna rock that look and surprise a few people who never knew she was even sick over the past 10 months. Think Mexican Demi Moore. But hotter..
Reconstructive surgery is scheduled for December 21st in SF. I know she is good hands at UCSF but a few positive thoughts and prayers that day would be appreciated. Try to say sane during the holiday rush and remember that we are all blessed!
