Spring is Almost Here.... Can't Ya Feel It?

The First of Many More Years…… Check!     

       

This week is the anniversary of the discovery of Patti’s tumor, her surgery and the diagnosis of Glioblastoma Multiform.  It’s been months since I typed that term.  How cool is that?

I was telling a friend that this not-very-dramatic anniversary is an unexpected treat for the family.  Patti, of course, sets the tone for the whole story, but she is absolutely wonderful.  She shows no symptoms and loves showing off her normalcy.  Patti’s adorable short hair has been shaped into a real pixie cut and we both wish she had tried this earlier.  Today, she and MC landed back in Atlanta after a short break to NYC where they spent time with Patti’s sisters Betty and Joan.  They also did lots of just regular girl stuff and a few things I expect I’ll never know.  Memories are made of this.

So the spring is shaping up nicely.  Patti and I will spend this weekend in Savannah with dear friends Johnny and Patsy Power.  This trip will include a morning at the coolest St. Patrick’s Day parade in Dixie.  Kiley’s wedding plans are shaping up nicely… Groom (check), dress (check), venue (check), bridesmaids (check), list….. not yet.  But we met Karl’s dad and his wife a few weeks ago for dinner and it was really fun.  This is getting exciting.

OK, back to our spring…. Lourdes at the end of April, engagement party in early May, Easter egg hunt at Erymwold just like the old days.  I think we are gonna have a ball.

Everyone reading this, please know that your prayers and your support are like a rain shower in the desert.  Keep it coming.  Thanks so very, very much.
