Bitter and Sweet

Joe returned to work this afternoon, the first time since the end of March. He hopes to work half days... as tolerated. He continues his daily chemo pill and chemo treatments every two weeks, so he realizes there will still be days of fatigue ahead.

My mood,
Bitter, because I will miss him not being here as much. I will miss doing things for him to help him feel better, getting him things when he needs them. I will miss our chats and watching movies in the middle of the afternoon, our random strolls through the yard.

Sweet, because Joe is able to go to work, even if it’s just half days. I know he’s getting back to doing a job he loves at John Deere, and will feel productive again. He will see his co-workers and friends that he has really missed. Sweet, because at the end of the day I can welcome him home.

He looks great doesn't he?
