A Red Letter Day

Today is a RED LETTER day.

RED LETTER days rarely occur.

I don’t know from where the term RED LETTER came,

But it certainly applies to August 8th 2008.

Scads of people are choosing to wed on 8-8-08.

As a matter of fact, we are going to witness just such a union tonight.

But that does not color this day.

My RED LETTER day has nothing to do with unexpected money,

Although there was an expected check to me in today‘s mail.

Today is a RED LETTER day because it is a day that ends an ordeal and reminds me, once again (Wake up, Betty!) Who is in control.

Today is the crescendo before radiation helps build and restores Anita to be in control of her life. Twenty four chemo treatments and eating when the thought of food makes things worse, She was challenged from every aspect of her life, and she is a champion in every sense of the word.

Oh, she is one of many on my prayer list,. You would have to know Anita to understand how brave she has been. You may quote me, “I wish I had a poets heart so I could describe things of such beauty that it takes your breath away.
