Last Saturday in the house....

2014.05.24

Got up early and stayed in bed as long as I could. Got my shot defrosted and enjoyed the relative silence of everyone still sleeping. My sister introduced me to a iphone game called 2048. It is an addictive game and I have won it twice already but I still keep playing it. Need to stop....

This morning we spent getting ready for some friends to come over in the afternoon. It was an open house to say goodbye to some of our friends. We planned an easy afternoon so that we could spend time with our friends.

I did some quick cleaning in between the need to lay down and rest a little. It was a beautiful and hot sunny day. And it would have been nice with air conditioning.

Late afternoon and the friends started arriving. This is just the first of a long list of goodbyes or see you soon gatherings. It feels good to move but always sad to leave friends. The distance between us won't matter.

As the sun got lower on the horizon, the weather improved and got a little cooler. I think my bald head got a little color today.

I couldn't have made it through this week without Nicole and Jackson. Sad to see them go home tomorrow. Good thing we will see them in a month again.

I have so many fantastic friends. I am grateful for all of you.

GRATEFUL. FRIENDS. KICKING CANCER'S ASS. LOVED. GOODBYES.

  2. Friends and family are the foundation of our lives, without love and friendship it would be a boring and empty place to be. I really like that quote: Goodbyes simply mean I'll miss you until we meet again. Nicole and Jackson's being there with you during the passed week has shown through in your writing, how wonderful to have had them help you so much not only with practical stuff but with their being there as well. So glad you'll be seeing them and the rest of your family in Florida again soon! xxxx
