Farewell 2006

We have enjoyed a busy week at The Groves. Of course there was Christmas on Monday, then the Lincoln Christmas on Wednesday then Andrew’s hockey tournament for the rest of the week. The team made it to the finals where they lost when the other team scored to make it 5 to 4 with 28 seconds on the clock. It was a real nail biter.

Tonight the kids dined on McDonalds while Steve and I had a catered meal from Custom Cuisine. It was fabulous!!! We officially toasted the end of 2006. It was certainly an interesting year to say the least. I just wanted you all to know that the challenge of the past year was made easier by the many e-mails, phone calls, cards and visits from you all…they kept me going. I sat down the other day and re-read all of my cards…wow…I have a lot of friends and family!

Thank you to my parents who would do anything for us, at any time of day, no questions asked. Thank you to my brother, who gave me his St. Christopher’s medal (St. Christopher is the patron saint of travelers) to wear on the day I was diagnosed. It has kept me safe on this journey. Thank you to Andrew and Sean for being two happy, silly, crazy boys. A special thank you to Steve who has been there for me every step of the way from the tests, the appointments, the diagnosis, the chemo, the radiation, the ups and the downs. We are a good team.

Farewell 2006.
