Dear So and So

[indysteel]

Pax, I'm so sorry you got so sick on your vacation. I hope you're both feeling better now.

I'm stoked that Diane paid you such an awesome compliment. Very cool!

[Catrin]

Pax - hope both of you are feeling better soon!

Dear Mom's Oncology doctors,

I just learned this morning you think my Mom's lung cancer has returned...in exactly the same place as before. I also understand you think there is a chance that it is only scar tissue from her two surgeries in November and from the MRSA infection that came out of the first surgery. Give her good news in June, ok? She's already had cancer twice so she needs a serious break and she is really tired of people telling her that she has cancer. I also can't come this time, so she can't get bad news without her eldest there...

(((Catrin))). I sure hope it's just scar tissue. Keeping you and your mom in my thoughts and prayers.

[Roadtrip]

Awwww Cat.... (((( hugs ))))

Keeping you and mum in my thoughts!

((((Pax)))) So sorry about your vacation being cut short - but amazing complement! Keep up the good work.

((((Catrin))))) Sending hopeful thoughts that it's just scar tissue.

Indy - He is a piece of work. He's 30 and a perpetual frat boy. There are so many more stories - and more to come. He just proposed to his girlfriend, we we have a giant, formal church wedding to look forward to

Wheeeeeeeee...won't that be fun!?!?! NOT!

Ditto on your condolences to Pax (getting sick on vacation is the WORST!) and Catrin (hope it's NOT the big C again, your poor mom!)

Pax, I'm glad the first bit of your vacation was good, at least. Sorry about the bacteria, though. I hope you both feel better!

((Catrin+mom)) Yikes. Good thoughts for both of you, and fingers crossed that it's scar tissue.

[OakLeaf]

(((((((Catrin & mom))))))) Sending good thoughts her way.

Pax, bummer about the vacation, but such a cool compliment! Hope you both feel better soon.

Blueberry, hang in there with the family and the moving. Just ugh.

As we were laying in bed feeling absolutely awful, I'd turn to my honey and say "I have an excellent stoke", we'd both smile wanly and go back to sleep.

Dear self: Put that SPF lip balm in your saddle bag before you forget...

Pax, you crack me up. Your sense of humor is right up my alley. My own honey and I have taken to saying "parp" randomly to one another thanks to you!

Hoping for your mom to have good news, Catrin.
I am enjoying my time in Grand Junction so much. Today is Richard's (actual graduation (former exchange student). Hard to believe it's been 10 years. We met his dad, finally and his mom and uncle will be there today. His girlfriend has a huge family. It's like the UN here; English, Spanish, and German spoken, and everyone is nice.
Too bad my real family isn't like this.

[Pax]

(((Catrin))) Hoping the best for you mom.
