February 17
When I checked in at the front desk of my usual building in Westchester, I was told the appointment was actually in Manhattan. If that sounds familiar, its because that same thing happened a month ago. I should have noticed it, and also there are a number of factors involved with the scheduling and appointments. At any rate, it was frustrating but we got it done.
Amy's been there with me more times than I can count. About 5% of my appointments are easy, the rest are hard, weighty, important. She never shies away from it...she's a show-upper, loving and loyal. I'm so grateful for her.

My view for the day when I was awake.

Because my appointment was so early on Monday, 48 hours with the pump ended early on this day. It was good to be out of bed.

Climbing out of the chemo hole. Again.

My view from the kitchen at 6:45 am.
Amanda's school was doing a weekend outreach at Yale. Since they were going to be in Connecticut anyway, Amanda and one of her roommates left early and spent the night at our house.
We really enjoyed getting some time with Journey...she and Amanda are super sweet together.
They went to youth group and then out to dinner.
Found this gem of Amanda and Journey serving at the campus/community church.

That pretty lady in pink, my Aunt Janice, got to go be with Jesus this day, my dad and much of her family had the chance to say goodbye.
We were separated by 2,000 miles most of my life, but whenever we were together, the family connection was strong. Her love for Jesus and her family was fierce and she had a whole lot of grit. My dad was very close to his sister and she could still get under his skin in a way only a sibling can do and that tickled me. A hole will be left in place of her love and her laugh but I'm so happy she's partying with Jesus.
During Aiden's soccer game, I watched the live stream of the evening service at Yale, 600 students representing many universities. Pretty special!
Jack got trivia set up for us and then we moved on to finding countries. We had some good laughs!
