My godparent's son, Michael Marion and his wife Janice, are especially near & dear to my parents. Janice called my Dad yesterday and said "I'm coming to Chicago Monday thru Wednesday to take care of Peggy, you and Barb take a break"
Jancie and Mike's son, just went through a horrible year of recovery and rehab due to being hit by a Drunk Driver. Michael is doing great, and just got married a few weeks ago. You can see his journey at Caringbridge.com. Michael Marion.
Janice and Michael are 2 of the most beautiful, loving, giving people you'd ever meet. To have them in your lives is a true blessing, I am sure. So here I am, on the receiving end of a gift of love via my parents and their relationship with Michael and Janice, and of course, their Mom, Laura, a most dear friend of my Mom's. I don't have a lot a would need Janice to do, but she's a FANTASTIC cook, which will be a big benefit to Lee and the Girls!!!
The gifts and love just keep raining down on me, I only ask how God wants me to pay it forward!

ok - do you think my husband could tell me that you are journalizing your recovery?! Hello!
ReplyDeleteGreat things are happening - CRE under 14 - that is awesome! Now - if we can just plump you up! hmmmm.....have to think about that for awhile.
Peg, what the flip! Your Erbatux face goes perfect with my sun age spots. I say we hit the streets and strut our stuff. Feeling it - maybe next month.
Hey - I am a great chemo buddy! Need any help - I tend to talk the whole time (I can tell you about my various fantasies with Edward Cullen) and I can be very pushy with the techs if needed.....I have even been know to do various cleaning duties - nothing phases me. (So, with a your "baggage" - does that mean gas is no more - can I get my husband one?! I know, tacky!)
Stay Strong - the recovery will be complete soon and then you can take your journal and write a best seller helping others get through these tough times. Call, have someone call, we are always available. Seriously, don't hesitate to let me know if you need a chemo buddy - anytime!
