Kay Gives Thanks

Hi, Amy here!

It has been an amazing Thanksgiving. Kay, our blessing, is home (see photo of Andrew, Ann, Wren, Kay, and Cocoa) and gives thanks for her family, friends, and the abilities that she has today.

Kay's homecoming has been filled with family (from near and far), delicious food, much-needed rest, and time with her canine companion, Cocoa. Support from friends and family continues...and we are all grateful! We thank the Gale's for a meal delivery program and the Snowballs for helping us locate professional care providers. Kay likes having professional help, and it lets Andrew take care of other matters--including his own health.

For some reason, Kay's ordeal has given her a greatly enhanced sense of humor. She has us in stiches. Next stop...Las Vegas!

Her grace stops me in my tracks. Despite the fear she feels about the progression of PML, she still asks about how everyone else is doing. She worries that her illness may burden others.

Kay has given so much--on so many levels--to us, and it is a pleasure to give back to her now!

Hello Kay...today I think of you. And of the time we last talked one Sunday on the phone...but I am also thinking of our years together. In particular, the stone carving symposiums and the jazz festival - but one day that really stands out for me was a sunny afternoon in Fairhaven - after lunch - we stayed around, found a little table and mused over our lives and compared scars!! You are so close to me - I can feel you even as I write this. I send you my love and prayers...Pat
