Grandkids walk in Relay for Life

I am so touched by all of you who remembered me in the relay last night, but it is especially touching that four of my grandkids did the walk for me. First Kade did 4 laps with his grandma Debbie and Aunt Marcie for me. Then Alexa, Alayna, and Alli went a little later and walked for me. Mom Roth also did 7 laps! She came to see me later and said her feet hurt! I sat on the porch last night and some of the neighbors came over. I'm starting to feel normal for a little while. Today Barb D picked Marcie and I up and took us to lunch at her house, It was lovely. We had a very nice visit and Bill got in his teasing of Marcie. She has missed that! We sat on their porch and enjoyed the beautiful afternoon. It made me a little sad to look at our lot and see it all marked off for our house.....that will have to be on hold for a little while. The doctor says I may be off work for a year, so that means we will be living on Kyle's retirement check and we will barely be surviving, let alone build a house. But I just have to focus on beating this and I will. YES I CAN!

    Morning!!!!
    What a great day for you -------Kyle's coming home!!!!!!!!! I bet the two of you can't wait! Hey, don't worry about anything. Not the new house, the retirement salary - nothing. You need to focus on only one thing and we all know what that is. The house will be built and you'll make it on whatever money is coming in. If worse gets to worse, the two of you will move in with one of kids-the ultimate revenge. Just remember to stack your clothes on the floor, don't do your wash or make your bed, and pile up all your stuff on a table. Also, rotate their homes so they all get a taste of what it was like when they were home with you. Seriously, Cindy, you know that neither the house nor the money is important at all. You being healed is the ONLY thing that matters to your family and friends.Everything else will take care of itself,it always does. Enjoy your day with your husband and wish Kyle a Happy Father's Day. (Joe's isn't going real well. Brett and Tony are stranded in Lake Erie with no gas.)As always---------YES I CAN!
