The Christmas Pig

So our crazy elders and friends came up with this Christmas gift when we had our annual "White Elephant" gift exchange earlier this month. The "Christmas Pig," or "Piggy," as she's called has been making the rounds in Greenville and getting her picture taken everywhere she goes. Then we text the pics to our friends who were in on the original gift exchange.

When you pinch her ear Piggy starts to dance and begins to sing, "Said the night wind to the little lamb, 'Do you see what I see what I see...." The lyrics are followed by several pig snorts that can be confused with other bodily sounds.

Today, Piggy was on the accelerator for my last radiation treatment! Well, she wasn't on it when I was zapped (can't have baked ham yet!), but she hopped on the table afterward, and then as you can see made it to Starbucks for a skinny latte as she is watching her weight. She even made it to the hospital to visit a friend in pre-op, but sorry, no picture!

Okay, so it's weird, I know. But what a gift to have friends who know how to laugh and to finish cancer treatments before the new year! All praise and glory to God. Now we begin the long road of periodic scans, labs and check-ups to keep a vigilant eye on cancer. All glory to God for the past, present and whatever the future holds. Happy New Year!
