Day 3 of Radiation

I decided to let Cass stay home this morning since the pain on her right arm woke her up in the middle of the night in the last few days. She would have a day to relax before her day-3 radiation this afternoon. Meanwhile, I could have a break and rest a bit from the busy schedule in the morning. To lighten the knapsack that Cass has to carry to school every day, I prefer to drop off her lunch box before lunch on a separate ride. Since Andy's car had not been running for the last week or so, I was required to drop off Caca to school in the morning and Andy to his office, then drop off lunch to Caca at lunch time, and then need to pick up Andy from his office and Caca from school to go Princess Margaret for the radiation. It seemed that I was just going in a big circle between home, Cass's school, and Andy's office for the last one to two weeks.

Recently in a chat, Cass mentioned to me that she just wanted people to treat her normally,  to make friends, and to join the school activities if she was able to. However, she felt that the new school is too big and too hard for her to make friends since everybody there seemed to be very busy with their own activities. To make it worse, all other students in the classes started school more than a month ago, whereas she just started school about a week ago. As such, Cass now would need to double the effort to get back to normal and fit in with her peers in the classes. While Cass finished her lunch and we still had about 10 minutes to go on the road, I looked up to the sky and realized it was relaxing. I thanked God that no matter how busy or hectic a day is, I could still have my moment to admire nature. Someone told me once that God is just a prayer away; so are all of you just a phone or a message away? Could I ask you to pray with me for God's mercy and grace on Caca; pray that the tumors on her neck will be effectively controlled and even shrunk by the radiation, and that the pain in her right arm will be gone to let her have good sleep at night. Further, we also need your prayer support for Cass's' schooling. Pray that she will soon be able to make good friends in school, that she could be able to catch up with her already-behind school work, and that she can just enjoy her school life as others can.
