Mom's Day

Take it as a very good sign that I have been so bad about keeping up on this blog. Actually I haven't been bad about it, there just hasn't been anything to wrotie about. Mom has continued to do well. She's keeping up on the chemo treatments and still working two days a week. She's been feeling about the same. She jokes about how none of her clothes fit, but I can see on her face that she's pretty happy about that. I know she'd trade her cancer for a few of the pounds back, but nonetheless I don't think she minds a bit of the weight loss. She continues to look great.

She and Lexi went up and spent the night last weekend in S.F. and saw a play. It sounded like they had a good time together.

We had what I consider to be the most important Mother's Day we have had to date. This is the first time in my life that I wasn't sure there would be another Mother's Day. I really cherished the fact that she is here to spend another one with us. My girlfriend Scarlett is in town for a week and I can see that they have enjoyed spending some time together finally. On Sunday Mom, Lexi, Scarlett and I went to church in the morning, which of course mom cried through after seeing Matt and Lexi on the big screen giving tribute to moms. Later that night I cooked up a big feast for the four of us at mom's house and Scarlett made some ridiculous brownies. After dinner we settled in for a movie. It was a quiet day. I'm so grateful and blessed to be able to spend another nice, quiet day with mom.

I'm so glad you're here mom.
Love You
