Stem Cell Transplant Bond Style

Hi Family and Friends,

Hope all of you are well and enjoying the beautiful weather. Mike is doing okay. He walked up and down the corridor today. He and Daisy Mae Pole walked with "attitude". Speaking of walking...I walked early this morning to Millenium Park. I found myself surrounded by a "legion of workers", with hardly any room to move. It felt like it might turn into a "mosh pit" and that was scary. I needed a plan. Suddenly, I remembered the days of living in the city and how to "walk the walk" and I kicked into gear. What that means is that I went into "ZOOM MODE". Let me explain..."Zoom Mode" is when you use your body like a racecar. It is essential that you weave in and out of the crowd, and that you do not use a signal to change lanes. It is important that you make very little to no eye contact with other walkers to convince them that you really mean business. If someone seems to resist your "zooming"...it is acceptable to make THE sound. Repeating "zoom zoom" reinforces your position, and scares people away. Wow, I sure got to the park quickly this morning. Can't wait until tomorrow. Just hope I don't run into the landscapers again. Being a flower stalker and a "zoomer" might get me banned from Starbucks.
You won't believe this next bit of news. Mike has a nurse who is named "Cherish". Yep, My Love and Cherish are on "The Mike Team". Now, doesn't that sound like Mike is in the James Bond Stem Cell Transplant unit? His incredible team is bringing him one day closer to recovery. I guess I shouldn't talk about names...in our family we have a Cookie and a Muffin. Isn't that too sweet? Thank you for taking this journey with us. You line the road with light to guide the way. Thank you-
Love, Cookie
