Happy. Grateful. Relieved.

In this world, we are hammered from every side with bad news all day long.  But on Friday, my Sweetheart and I were treated to some:

He is in the clear!  The surgery was successful!  It was so stunning to hear the news that I could not even react at all for about 1/2 hour afterward.  I was silent and dazed like a deer caught in headlights.  Then I cried for a long time, could not seem to stop -- all the emotions came out.  It was a great day, and he is so happy and relieved.  He was so strong through it all, and I knew he was worried deep down, but now he has this great result and grins from ear to ear.

This illustration (not my art) depicts our feelings about this and about each other through this:

We are older than this and look it, but this pretty much conveys the feelings and actions taking place this past Friday.  Feeling very blessed, fortunate, and grateful.
