  • 9/11/24 Racing toward the storm

    To be able to sit on the sofa in our home and have our dogs snuggle in, our grandbaby chattering away, and our kids talking … well that’s a bliss we had definitely missed. Our week at home was busy and sped by rapidly. We cherished every second. Knowing there was a storm brewing in…

    The only thing we can count on is…we can’t make plans.  We thought we could come home for a few days with some free days on the calendar. But first, Richard broke out in hives from some dry mouth products.  His white count was high, and we were afraid this would send him back to…

  • Welcome to the new information hub.

    As many of you are aware, the last place I was journaling Richard’s journey and keeping everyone abreast of information and events suddenly closed. Sadly, all of that is lost. However, they do hope to make it available again at some point. Without that availability, it leaves me sending over 30 texts every time I…
