My 12th Survivorversary!

Dec 7, 2021-my 12th Survivorversary

This week has been amazing! 

Let me tell you what happened. Kelli, our incredible daughter planned the most amazing celebration for my 12th Survivorversary. So while I was revelling in all the excitement of my beautiful framily being there, I was in shock when I heard Papa’s voice saying, “ hey Moni, I have your sweatshirt”, I lost my shit!  Ugly crying that was so heartfelt!!

My sweet girl

I have not seen my dad in almost 2 years. To embrace  Papa & his wife, Monika after all that time — I didn’t want to let go!  I still feel like I’m in the midst of a Hallmark movie. Still. Kelli arranged to have Papa & Monika fly down for this surprise Survivorversary party! It’s very hard to surprise me, I was more than surprised, I think I’m still in shock. 
I still can't believe they are here!!
It’s been a wonderful year for the Monks. I had my appointment with my breast oncologist in October — all checked out great!

Kelli graduated from Angelo State University. Jakob left policing. Joey is at Texas State University. Jim retired from Chevron in September. I have Jim back full-time, it’s been 5 1/2 years since we’ve lived together all the time! I’m still working as a paralegal. 

My family & friends (framily) are the reason I continue to fight. I am so appreciative of their constant love, encouragement & support. 
Jakob & Me


I pray that you all have framily like mine in your life!
My Framily!!

I want to wish you all a blessed holiday season. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you all with love from me!!

Love, 
Moni
