Oh Deb, this gave me goosebumps and tugged at my heart. I can see why you were emotional. You've dealt with a lot of loss. The plate coming out of the cabinet is crazy cool actually. Definitely would kinda freak me out and then I think I would embrace it. I wouldn't mind if friends and relatives wanted to come in and say hello! :)
Ugh to the cancer consuming your energy. I know how that is. I do think about something coming back, too and I am thinking good thoughts for you. F*CK cancer and I hope it doesn't return.
