AN ANNIVERSARY TO CELEBRATE
This week marks two years since Patti was diagnosed with
brain cancer. TWO YEARS! I won’t bore you with the stats on this occurring
but I will say that we are nearing ‘miracle’ stage. If you were to ask Patti how she has pulled
this off she would first credit God and his mercy and immediately after credit
her friends and family who keep her in their prayers. For me, I credit the patient herself. Never, ever is there a sad day. Just the opposite. Patti keeps a great attitude and will not
mention the dark clouds ever. But it’s
not a humble, righteous persona of someone who does not want to tempt fate by
living and laughing. This is a gal on
permanent Spring Break.
Today, at this moment there remain no symptoms whatsoever. I am reminded of this journey only when a
friend asks me how Patti is doing. It
may sound cliché, but I honestly don’t think about it. Our life is so darn near perfect we ask how
it could possibly be better. The
children are happy and close. The farm
is showing signs of spring. Patti is
scheduled to spend a week in Scottsdale with super-friend Liz this month. An Easter Egg Hunt and a Derby Party and
Thomas’s wedding are all in our near future, so the fun is starting to fill the
calendar.
Our Cup Runneth Over.
