Last year ended on a high note, with the arrival of Eliza, home from school, then Sarah, Jon, Harper, and Bruce, for the holidays, a couple weeks' respite from treatment, a New Year's Eve spent with friends lovingly saying totally inappropriate things, and sing-along Irish songs. And this year began, as it has for the last few, with First Run, a 5k (more my style than the half) through the streets of Burlington with 700+ others.
Also with the new year came a resumption of treatment. That happened today, the beginning of Carol's 8th round of treatment. The weeks off put her in great shape for today's appointment. Of course, she would rather have been at the studio, or running, or doing many other things. But she wasn't. She was there, I was there, Eliza was there, and I know that in so many ways, as I've heard from several of you, you were all there with her, giving her strength. Thank you, and wishing you all a wonderful 2015.
Promise me you'll always remember: you're braver than you believe,
and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
-- A. A. Milne
