We would talk about the day and I would tell you that you are a very brave woman who I admire very much. Today you were especially brave. I would hug you and then order some more cheesecake.
...and then we'd talk about all the wonderful things ahead, now that this difficult day has ended. I'd try real hard to make you laugh, because even on difficult days we can find a gem or two of humor.
That's how I would imagine me being there in spirit. Sending strength and chocolate your way.

The tests on my mother in law continue, but she has cancer. Now they are figuring out how bad. She's supposed to visit us in six weeks, she's never been to our new house. Hasn't been to the us since before my father in law got sick, about 8 years ago. My partner really wanted to make memories with her here.
Please pray or send vibes if you don't mind, she's a wonderful lady.

The day is done, and I left my drunk sisters to clean up.
So onward, with all of you.

It's 5:57 AM and I'm in for another sober 24.

6:25 am here and I'm out the door for a morning run on this beautiful sunny day.
24 more please!
Congratulations to today's amazing list of Milestoners!
