Barbara

As I was leaving the rehab class yesterday, I turned around and there was Barbara. Though she was using a cane, she looked great and had lost 10 pounds after a small reduction of prednisone. She said she was scared to come back.

“But doesn’t it feel good to be here?” I asked.

She smiled. “Where’s Sherman?” She had just missed him.

Dick spotted her, gave her a huge hug, loud smack of a kiss on her cheek and a lecture about how all of us care about her and totally support her. Never shy! He reminded us both that Sherman’s birthday is next Wednesday, we are all planning our cards.

Can’t wait when she shows up on Thursday to surprise him.

Next: Years?
