We are so thankful for all our friends’ cards, notes and emails – every day we get another card or call of encouragement. Please know that it does help so much to know you are all thinking of us.
Yesterday a beautiful arrangement of Easter Lilies from Jana and Johnny Trotter came right before our Easter Dinner – how very thoughtful of them!!!
I did discover a great magazine at the Cancer Center. It is free to families that are dealing cancer and is called CURE and contains cancer updates, research and education: curetoday.com
Gene and I will be married 49 years on June 27, and for all those soon-to-be 49 years, we have done most everything together. We worked together in business, worked at the ranch and showed horses together … and now it seems very lonely for me and I know Gene feels the same.
We just can’t do the things together we used to. My favorite time was doing horse chores with Gene: Every evening at 5:30, we fed, watered and cleaned stalls for probably 20 years or more, and then exercised and fed the dogs. Now it is just me doing chores. We don’t have horses right now, but it is about an hour-long job morning and night taking care of our Chesapeake hunting dogs. Some evenings when Gene feels up to it, he walks with us, too. It just seems like something is missing when we can’t do this together. Hopefully soon Gene will feel up to doing more.
