"So how is retirement?" we are often asked ---- "couldn't be better will be our reply" ---- time for each other and time for family ---- and that leaves no time for self pity. Loving every minute and grateful for each new day. When given the chance we load up and are on our way. Being with family is the best that life can offer. And their sweet love and kindness in return makes each day just a bit better

Glenda gets blood transfusion
Amy traveled to Logan today to take Glenda for a blood transfusion. Glenda is very anemic and Dr. Ben Jacob said she needed this. The cancer and chemo are so hard on her body, let alone the great emotional toll.

Sid in Boston
Sid was in Boston fron Wednesday to Friday. Brad and I were able to be with the little ones for awhile on Thursday. They are so fun and special. Sammy loves to play with Grandpa and he is Lizzy's favorite. I had a special time helping Heather with her piano pieces. She has a recital coming up. I especially liked the Minuet by Bach. He is one of my favorite composers. Fun and challenging to play. She is doing very well. Maybe grandmas piano will have a home yet. Natalie is a wonderful mother. She gives so much for her family plus working her job. Proud of her.
Chemo Friday
Yesterday was the third chemo in this series for Glenda. She gets a week off and will then start another series of three. At the beginning of each series they do a CA125 blodd test. It was at 456. Hope it goes down more. Needs to get to 35 or below. Her blood test showed she is very anemic. Will have a transfusion on Tuesday. Hopefully thus will give her a boost. She is very weak. Cancer is the most hellis experience. I am only an observer and it kills me, I can't begin to fathom what she is experiencing. She is truly brave. In the end our prayer is that she will be healed from thus fictions desease

My Heart Breaks for Glenda
Yesterday Brad and I traveled to Logan to take Glenda to her chemo session. When we arrived she was so nervous and so not wanting to go. She was just starting to feel a little better and now she knew she would be feeling sick again. My heart is broken because I am helpless as her mother to FIX it for her. I would give my life for her if I could just make her all better. I do not believe I have experienced just extreme pain since her father died. Cancer is the most horrible disease. And in the end after all she is going through we can only hope she will be cured. As I she her husband suffering so greatly my memories of Dales illness and struggles are brought to my mind and how I longed and prayed for things to get better. I pled with my Heavenly Father to please not let him hurt anymore. I know that his death was the only way for husband pain to go away but would be the beginning of that empty painful place in my heart. Sometimes it seems so strange to think that
