New Granddaughter - November 10, 2018

My beautiful granddaughter Molly Kate was born on Saturday, November 10, 2018. My husband and I went to see her the following day. Our grandson Finn gave Molly lots of special attention. What a beautiful family – my son Ryan, daughter-in-law Missy, grandson Finn, and granddaughter Kate. I love them all!

My beautiful granddaughter Molly Kate!
 

 
Missy is a beautiful mother for her children. 
 
Ryan is thrilled to have a son and a daughter. 
 
Finn is gentle when he holds his sister...
 
...and is excited about having a little one at home. 
 
I am thrilled to have a grandson and
 a granddaughter - Finn and Molly.

September 2020   Chris passed away peacefully on Tuesday, September 8.   She remained gracious throughout the last difficult days, and was always ready with a “Thank you”, “That feels so good” and “I love you so much”.   We were very happy she could stay at home, and it was an honor and a privilege to care for her.   She inspired us every day.   Her beautiful memory will stay with us forever.     Chris liked to say “find your village and love them hard”.   The fact that you are reading this means you are in Chris’s village and I guarantee that she loved you hard.   Chris had a limitless capacity for love and spread it among everyone that she came into contact with.   I am not going to tell you who Chris was or what her accomplishments were.   If you knew her…YOU KNEW HER.   She was as big as life and lived every moment to its fullest.   It was exhausting just living with her.     It will come as no ...

August 2020       I have been receiving palliative care this month and I am getting weaker.   I can no longer walk, so my family helped me get up to my chair and back to bed every day, and then even that became too difficult and I stayed in bed.     I am thankful I no longer have back pain or chest pain.   I am still enjoying small meals, although I am eating less and I need to eat soft foods.   I still enjoy mint iced tea!   I know the end is near and I am ready.   I am very thankful my family is taking such good care of me.   They are very attentive.   Thank you for all your warm thoughts and wishes, your concern and your love.   I am so grateful for my dear family and friends.   *My sister Bev helped me compose this blog.   Ryan dropped in with a Tim Horton's hot chocolate which I enjoyed very much.        My friend Colleen dropped in for a visit.   We were so happy when vi...

July 2020     On Friday, July 3, I saw Dr. Pitz at Cancer Care to discuss my treatment and the plan going forward.   We made the decision to discontinue chemotherapy and to start the palliative care process.   I met with the Palliative Care nurse on Wednesday, July 15, and now have all the equipment I need to stay home as long as possible.   I had another fall and am not able to walk anymore.   I have been experiencing a lot of back pain and chest pain.   Heat compresses, ice packs, massage, painkillers and regular chiropractic visits have helped my back pain, and I now only have pain when I get in and out of bed.   We have figured out the chest pain is related to sores in my mouth and esophagus, and I am getting medications to help with that.   I have to be very careful what I eat, but am still hungry all the time and enjoy eating the food that I can tolerate.   Mint iced tea is now my new favorite drink!   I have enjoyed spend...
