Today is the milestone that seemed so far away for so long.  Over the months, we've not focused too much on this date until now.  Instead, Patti centered herself within each week, making the most of the ups doing her best to manage the downs.  As the weeks passed, the increasing all body exhaustion has left her with fewer warrior days, but a weekend never passed without our coffee-and-walk dates.  Patti's "you shall not pass" pose was just a week ago, her spirit finally beginning to anticipate the end of her treatments.  Today is that day, and it's a great one.
