Dear Family and Friends,
I'm looking out on another gloomy day, but I'm thinking about all of the evidence that the sun is indeed shining. First of all, Mike is doing well. His counts are holding, and in some cases, improving. Today, he will get the results of a number of tests that he had on Tues. Hoping for confirmation that his body is doing what it needs to do to accept the 21 year old immune system. If only it were a case of "mind over matter", we'd be done with the whole process.
Dealing with not being able to return to school has left me with considerable time on my hands...which is NOT the usual scenario for me. Consequently, I have nearly completed the planting of the garden. It is thrilling to me to plan, plant, and nuture a garden. It compliments my most cherished role in life. Nuturing the people that I love. I hope that each of you feels loved and nutured by your family and friends...including Mike and I.
SOOOOOO...now that the plants are in the ground, getting plenty of nature's juice, I am watching them grow. No! REALLY! I pull a chair up to the plants and watch them for any sign of growth. Yesterday, I got so excited because I saw a leaf move. My excitement vanished when I saw the rain hitting the leaf . Although I didn't have any luck yesterday, I'm determined to try again. I really think this could be the best sporting event ever. Do you think that Mike will agree?
Well, Just poking fun at myself. I think I need a rescue plan. I can't hover around Mike. My flowers are growing too slowly. Friends are working. Even with exercising, gardening, and running errands, and tutoring, I have unexpected time on my hands. I suppose that I'll get used to it. There is a silver lining...it's called Mike. He's got a great attitude, and continues to maintain his sense of humor. All of you...Keep strong and Keep Centered.
With Love,
Cookie

Hi Mike and Cookie,
You both sound like you are doing great - savor the free time. You show with style and grace that each moment is so precious! It is when something extraordinary happens on an ordinary day that it's clear that nothing is predictable in life.
Thinking about you always,
love, mari and barry
ok Cook, this blog sounded a little more "centered", drugs must be wearing off. Just try to enjoy every second of free time because you know tomorrow could be hectic. We never know what is around the corner so just enjoy the peace of your garden. Mikey dear, you are not the only one mom said ha=s a good voice and mine is definately the worst! Cookie was just trying to humor you. love you, B.
Dear Cookie,
Too much time on your hands? You can always start a gardening business. I know a few of your friends that have always been envious of your green thumb. Hopefully the weather will cooperate soon and you will start working on your summer glow tan. In the meantime, it sounds like you have perfected nursing. How many careers can one girl have? You are amazing! Keep your spirits up.
Love Always,
Lanabelle
