Day 144, May 24, 2013

Terri O'Donnell
 
Today, I went to see Dr. Emre for a follow up from
last November's tests and it happened to
be Terri's last day as a Patient Coordinator at
Yale.  She is moving to FL.  Oh, how I will miss
her!  She was the first person I met at Yale.
She has been there to hold my hand, make appointments, give a hug and always with a smile.  She made some of the worst days of my life a bit better!  I will always remember her.  Good luck Terri, the people at University of Miami Cancer Center are lucky to have you. 

Day 143, May 23, 2013

Hank is always willing
to pose for picture of the day!
He has the Col. Mustard
moustache going on...

So, Michael's all time favorite movie
is "Step Brothers."  He tells me I must see it.
I find this three DVD package and figure
I will watch and then give it to him.
Yes, I am a 13 year old boy!
Watched "Step Brothers" and
"Talladega Nights" back to back.
I have heard both David and Michael
recount both of these stories so many
times, it all came together and made
sense, some what.  I always say "you need
to laugh every day," well, I laughed.
Thank you Will Ferrell for letting
us just get away from it all and laugh!
