Everything begins on Monday

I am home from my brief interlude with my wonderful sister and her husband in Michigan. I woke up this morning with Avi staring at me to see if I was awake and at the same time asking me to make coffee. It seems he had forgotten how while I was away. He is getting a bone marrow biopsy right now, while I recoup from my late night flight, alone in the house. There was something both refreshing and gut-wrenching about not going with him this morning. It will be the first biopsy that I won't be there for and yet I know with certainty that we have already kicked cancer's ass and so I can let him leave knowing we aren't going to get the results and when we do it will be fine. He is fine. We start the warm-ups for the last leg of this race and boy are we going to nail it. After a weekend a part it seems we both have a renewed sense of optimism and energy that will get us through the next phase of this adventure.

Today I am grateful for...

Kimb and Jon sharing their home and time with me.

Bonnie for sharing her time and children with me.

Leah for sharing her time and Charlie's music with me

Pie...

The plumeria plants from Hawaii that Avi bought for us to grow this summer.

It's just another day.
