Tomorrow morning (Tues) the drain will be removed from my abdomen. In no time I should be able to sleep in my old favorite positions, wear my skinny jeans, and give my husband the big BEAR HUGS he so much deserves. It reminds me of how many simple things in life I took for granted. I can’t wait....until I can jog in the park with our dog, Telluride, ...until food tastes normal, ...until I have a bad hair day. We don’t realize what we have until its been taken away.
During this Lent season, can you imagine yourself without your everyday conveniences and comforts? When I do, I feel that much closer to Jesus. In many ways, I am grateful for this awakening experience.

| Maureen - I'm so glad that you're feeling better faster after this chemo treatment and that darn drain will be out soon. I love the graduation idea. We (Dick, too) will definitely have a toast to you when it is graduation day. When you give Mike that big bear hug, give him one from me too! Love, Terrie | |

| hello from North Pole Wyoming Marsha Oakes | |
| Glad to hear all is improving, and graduation is to be soon. As always you are in our thoughts and prayers. Don't get too wrapped up in the books like I have, and forget to see all the beauty around us. Hope it isn't as windy there as here, a light breeze of 45 MPH, if the wind ever stops we will slide right off the map. Blessed New Year to you and yor family. Love, Marsha and Steve | |

| My dearest Maureen:it's so great to hear that you're getting closer to that bear hug! One of these days I'm going to show up for one myself! We got up to a beautiful white covering on our brown hills and with our view from our bedroom of the frozen Missouri in our backyard and the hill behind, was elegant even at a chill 4 degrees. Anyway, hang in there,between prayer and modern medicine,you will win this war one battle at a time. We had Mass here at St James just this morning! We love you so much!!! Terry | |
