T minus 11

I have had a few side effects from the chemo but nothing too severe. Our oldest son, Chris, and his wife, Denise, flew in from Seattle to spend a few days with us. It was not that long ago we saw them. The occassion, however, was Josh's funeral. It's always a mixed bag, these events of the first year. It's also a mixed bag because we can't help but think about worst case scenarios for my disease. It's good, very good to have them here even though our family circle is painfully incomplete without Josh, as Lynne and I sat around table last night with Chris and Isaac.

Chris also said that he wants to come back in a about 10 or 12 days and stay about a month to spend some time together and to help out while I am in the hospital. Subtlely put, the company will allow him a month to do this or he will be between jobs. Thanks Chris. Thanks Denise. Lynne had said that for that month she would be alone she was going to get a gun and borrow one of Isaac's dogs for security. Now she will not have to.

And there was evening and there was morning - one day - another gift.  T - minus -11 and counting.
