A wonderful surprise and visit with my friend, Michelle and her friend Bill. They flew in from Rhode Island today. They are taking a quick tour of Southern Colorado and some parts of NM while visiting some relatives who now live in CO. Last time we saw them, we all had babies. Now those babies are adults. Swiftly go the years. We just picked up like we saw one another yesterday. What fun. To laugh and share with each other face to face. Delightful!! Perfect timing. Just a lovely, lovely time. And she brought me Portuguese Sweet Bread...fresh from the bakery. yum.
Hanging up my walking shoes? Yep, Dr. Clark's office phoned today. I will see him on Friday. That marks the beginning of my new treatment. Best thing I can say: God is preparing him and me. I am grateful. I now have a good idea of the things chemo can do and have had some advance warning of what this drug can do. I will be given a low dose, so perhaps some of these side effects, I said perhaps, will not be so intense.
I return to the verse I hold onto along
with the Lord's Prayer...your will be done
"I keep a grip on hope."
(Lam.3:21b)
Prayers going up for Irene, Paul, Linda, Neil and Paula and their families. These are long days for all of them.
love you kathryn
