Reflecting
It was 30 years ago today that Craig asked me to marry him. It is hard to believe that it has been 30 years!! I have had mixed feelings today, some happy some sad. I am so happy that Craig asked me to marry him and that I had over 28 years of a wonderful, truly loving marriage. I am sad when I think about the fact that Craig's life was cut so short and that we should have been happily married for many more years. I am also sad when I think about the fact that Emily's children will never know what a wonderful "grandpa" Craig would have been. He loved being a father so much and being a grandfather would have been such a joy to him as well.
Emily and Kyle are going to leave in mid March to start looking for a home in Madison WI. They are very excited about this new phase in their lives. I am so proud and happy for them as well. I will miss them terribly, but I am well aware of how important this step is for their future.
My book is already being revised. I guess it is not unusual for a book to be written and rewritten. So I am working with the editor and revising already...... I have a feeling this is going to be a L O N G process to get this book to print. I have spoke to Chris at the MESO foundation and I am planning to attend the symposium again in June in Washington DC. I may speak again and I may do a break out session to help people go home with the information and more importantly the determanation to do fundraising to find a cure for mesothelioma.
My fistula is mending....slowly. I have not been feeling great. The medication I have been on has been difficult for me to adjust to. I have been very tired and just not feeling "right". I hope that my body will adjust and I will be back to "normal" soon.
I have joined a neighborhood Bunco group, so I have met some of my neighbors finally. I am bowling better and I am going to go to the state tournament with my friends in April. I haven't been able to do that for the last couple of years, so I am looking forward to going to that again. I guess that is about it for now.
I hope you are all doing well. Keep in touch!
