Today is the first day of spring…

And it’s the nastiest day we’ve had for a while.
Snow is expected to accumulate later in the day.

That’s OK though…
It’s spring.
The buds are on the trees.
Daffodils and tulips are sprouting,
The Robins are chirping,
And the 70 degree days could be back by next week.

Everything comes back to life in spring.
TC will do well,
Dini will do well,
And “I” will do well.

I know many of you have been worried about me.
I appreciate it and will try not to worry you anymore!
After all…
Spring is here.
We’re all coming back to life!
Make sure YOU come along.

You can check out anytime you want…

But you can never leave. (The Eagles, Hotel California)

That’s what cancer is like.
You can manage to not think about it for a little while, (check out),
But it never goes completely away.

You go to bed thinking about it,
You wake up thinking about it.
You think about it when you drive.

My friend Dini was diagnosed with liver cancer last week.
We are devastated yet hopeful.
Dini has youth, health and a positive spirit on her side.
And us.

Please keep Dini in your prayers along with TC.

ABC…

A: Move back to KC and stay with Mom.
B: Move into Corporate Apartment.
C: Move back into our HOME!!!


We just got to Stage B in this current journey we’re on.
The apartment sucks, but we’re one step closer to home.
June 1st we take back possession.

Ordinarily…I am guilty of “wishing my life away”.
I wish it was summer, I wish Christmas would be over with, I wish we were back in the house.
I wish, I wish, I wish!

But given our current circumstances,
I now fully understand that each day is a gift.
Especially for TC.
And I’d live in this crappy apartment for the rest of my life if TC could have that many days too.

I wish.
