My dear friend Nancy. Nanny. The Goat.
Sigh. Where to begin? She's more than a friend, she's like a bright, shining light to me, her family and so many others. We met more than half our lives ago, on the steps of our college dorm, on check-in day (backstory), and we've been bonded so deeply every since. I love that lady.
Today she's recovering from having, as she puts it, her "junk" removed. She's funny like that. And she's brave: today, she intentionally entered menopause at the age of 38.
Why? Read this. And this. Cancer has terrorized both of our families too often. My feeling is: whatever it takes to stay healthy and around. Whatever it takes. Wouldn't everyone want a chance like this?
It's been emotional for her to close the door on the childbearing years--and everything that means to women, mothers or not--but she's taking that beast to the mat today.
Go, Nanny, go. Put on those sweats, climb onto the couch and watch something super trashy.

And now I feel like an ass for whining about having the flu! She sounds like a pretty strong woman. I'll be praying for her speedy recovery and grace into the next chapter of life. xo
