People need people

Day 98 since bone marrow transplant had Dale sitting on the front porch admiring the view, feeling the winds of an incoming storm, and resting in between yard chores. Whoa! Back up, rewind! Yard chores? What is he thinking? With surgical mask on, he exercises as he works in the yard--one of his great joys. Probably good this year, because the lawn looks pretty bad right now and needs Dale's passionate care.

We had a pleasant visit with our church leaders tonight, checking in on both of us and the cancer journey. We continue to feel the care, love, and prayers of good people around us. I have heard Dale on the phone with his co-workers; they miss him and the spirit of support shines in their conversations. My co-workers show me continual support, understanding, and excitement as they hear or read of Dale's progress. People need people. We sure do.
