Savoring

Mom has had a great weekend.  All the daughters are now home: Allie arrived Thursday, and Natalie flew in with Lola on Friday.  Harlan came in on Saturday, so we had a full house!  We also had many wonderful visits, including a surprise (to her) visit from Jerry and Bobbi, who drove in from Florida.  So the house was full to the brim with love and good spirits.  Mom is leading the way.  She is strong and getting stronger.  She has been playing Sorry with Sonny, reading to Lola, sorting laundry, doing dishes, taking walks, playing in the leaves with Esphyr.  She loves to joke about her baseball head. 

Her next oncology appointment is Wednesday, but there is little anxiety over it.  Our focus has shifted from the medical side of things to life and the living of it.  And she is doing that with style and grace and sweetness.

Much love to all,
