Greetings to all,

Bill and I haven’t posted much lately--I think it’s because there is such a relief that life is getting back to normal and we’d just as soon forget the bad times. Bill is healthy and we are returning to our standard routine. All the craziness of the past few months is receding in our memory, and it's beginning to feel as though this is the way life has always been. That is a really good feeling.

One of the great blessing of humanity is also one of our curses: we can quickly adapt to changing circumstances. This is a blessing for obvious reasons, a curse because it's so easy to become complacent. One of the odd "benefits" of a cancer diagnosis is that it makes you aware of how fleeting life can be and so pushes you to grab hold of today and treasure it.

Bill will continue to be monitored with a CT scan every three months, but he will NOT have to have any chemo at this time. That is really good news for him and for our entire family.

Thanks to everyone for being there for us through this tough time. It's wonderful to be able to post that all is well. Yesterday the four of us spent the afternoon sledding. The boys each invited a friend and it was a blast. The weather here has been so COLD that we've been pretty much confined to the inside, so it was a huge relief to get OUTSIDE and play.

Our best to everyone.
