Yesterday was a gorgeous sunny day. It was a perfect day to rekindle old ties with my high school classmates who lives in our area. I haven't seen them in ages. We had a blast. The venue was at a picnic area beside a marina. It was so beautiful.
Prior to the reunion I asked the organizer if the picnic area is directly under the sun. I said for health reasons I cannot be exposed to the sun for a long period of time. Fortunately the picnic area had a shed and I was ok. However, all of my friends kept asking me why I cannot be exposed to the sun. They wanted me to explain what "health reasons" meant. Every time they did ask me, I changed the topic.
Nobody noticed the wig, in fact, I got a compliment when one of them said she loves my new hair. ;) I didn't say anything about my illness. I thought it wasn't the right time to do so.
Yesterday was all about rekindling old ties with my high school friends and not about me. I didn't want to spoil the fun. We had such a great time, laughing and reminiscing the good old days. It was the break I needed. It also felt great to feel "normal" again, not having to think about breast cancer even for a portion of a day was priceless.
It was an awesome day. :)
