Mom and Dad - February 15th through 18th 2008

Mom and dad had a wonderful spur of the moment get-a-way with each other last week and headed out to sunny Las. Vegas together. The stayed at the Rio, went to the Hoover Dam, saw the one and only Blue Man group, saw a movie and relaxed in one another's loving arms.
They even went to a wig shop to try on some wigs. She found a couple that she liked and wrote down the SKU number for future references. The highlight of that stop was when mom tried on a blonde wig and turned around to face dad. His eyes went big and the eyebrows raised..."Alyson" he smirked. (Mom's sister "Alyson" was dad's high school sweetheart). Mom looked in the mirror and sure enough - she looked like Aunt Alyson. They got a good laugh out of that.

It's DONE!

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day, saying... "I will try again tomorrow."

Mom has completed weeks and weeks of daily radiation and is regaining her strength slowly but surely from 9 grueling months of battling (and beating!) cancer. So remember, as Helen Keller said, "Keep your face to the sunshine and you will not see the shadows."

Thank you, again, dear family and friends, for all your love and support throughout 2008.
