What a good week

To all who are checking on Lainey's progress it was a good week for her. This was her "off" week , where once a month she has no chemo, you can imagine we live for these weeks. Elaine, is tired and tired of fighting , and doesn't seem to see the improvement she's making, but that's not surprising since she's been fighting cancer for nearly 16 months already. I don't know about you but i get sick of the flu after i week ! So the challenge is to keep her up and up for the fight.
We took her and mum and dad out for an hour to San Francisco last night, had dinner in a Jazz bar, cuddled up and enjoyed what felt like an almost "normal" evening out together. On Saturday we are having the first of a number of "Thank you dinners" for the sisters who have helped us so much. Mum is here till the end of the year dad, leaves the beginning of November, having family and friends around for support is vital, even for the mundane little things. So draw close to your friends and family , we all need each other , and will need each other even more in the future.
Horribly hard times in the workplace for all of us means live simply and be kind to each other. ( our trip out to the Jazz bar is probably the last for a year , no moolah ! )
Dear friends, please pray for us and for your wives, children and parents, exercise the fruitage of the spirit, love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, mildness, self control, if there was ever a time for these qualities it's now, it's a real challenge but it makes life bearable.
Well that's all for now folks, Lainey has chemo next Tuesday, hope and pray it keeps doing the job, love your old , tired , wrinkly friend Keith.
