We went to Long Branch NJ this past weekend for my cousin Lisa's Memorial/celebration of life service. Lisa passed away earlier this year after a 3-year battle with lung cancer. She was 59 and so kind and optimistic. She will be missed by all of us who loved her.
My brother and several cousins were able to attend (pic of all the cousins together -4 more not able to attend)
Here's a pic with Lisa's Mom and Dad, My father's sister Judy, and my Uncle Stanley.
It was so nice to be right on the beach, and walking on the beach and listening to the waves was very calming. Physically I felt decent this weekend. IDK if it's because I was distracted, or hopefully because I'm just getting better. Today is exactly 5 weeks from my surgery, and I am actually glad that radiation won't start until the end of the month or early May. It blows my mind to think about doing something else that will cause my poor chest to hurt more. I have a pretty easy week this week- no doctor appts until next Tues-glad for a break.
my condolences on the loss of your cousin Lisa. You already know life isn't fair and she was way too young to lose her life. and good for you for dragging yourself onto the airplane and putting up with all that nonsense to be with your family. I'm sure that was a great emotional boost. joan
