Yesterday was great most of the day! The luncheon and retirement party at the college was so fun. I loved seeing faces I hadn't seen in years and those I hadn't seen for a couple of days. Got lots of hugs and words of encouragement, as well as lots of people told me how great I looked. I feel great, and I guess it shows.
Then last evening I got a call from Judy and she told me about Frank and his decision to stop fighting and that they were gathering the family to be with him to celebrate his life and be taken off the vent next Wednesday. I am so sad. Frank and I have battled together for years.....he was waiting for his lung transplant already 14 years ago when I went through my first couple of bouts with cancer. Frank and I also had a special bond in gathering the family tree information....he worked on the Vermuelens and I worked on the Schiebers. We gathered for dinners in each others homes and they visited me at the cabin on several occasions in the last couple of years. He was always at all the family gatherings and has been loved by all. I ask that you pray for him and his family that they have strength to get through this week. I know it is going to be hard.
I plan to go shopping with my friend Bonnie this morning, and try to make myself feel less sad. Then I need to come home and cook dinner to take to the cabin tomorrow. My family will gather to open the cabin....hopefully put in the dock and clean up the area to make room for the addition construction next month. Love and prayers, m
