Just a minute...

I just need a minute.
A minute to be well.
A minute away from this roller coaster from hell.

I just need a minute.
A minute to be free.
A minute where Neutropenia doesn't define me.

I just need a minute.
A minute to breathe.
A minute to live worry free.

I just need a minute.
A minute that's new.
A minute with you.

  Hey.  Funny how even in the Neutropenic life, it can still throw curve balls.  You'd think we'd be used to that right?...Nope.  I suppose we probably become more accustomed than the norm to the ever changing plans but often Neutropenia grows another head!  I am personally struggling lately and I just want to feel good without having to fight so hard.  There's so many "I's" in there right?!  I see Mileigh struggle to just feel good on some days and I want to teach her to push through because that's what this world requires but then I just want to wrap her up because I KNOW that feeling.  I want her to always have a place to land when she just can't go.  I want Brelan to have that too...for every other reason aside from Neutropenia.
  As ugly as Neutropenia is and can be, it is sure wrapped in some beautiful packages.  People often forget the struggle simply because it's wrapped in beautiful people.  Every now and then we just need a minute...
