Hello Everyone:
Please accept my apologies for not updating my Caring Bridge site for such a long time. But thought I should write something today due to the date. It has been an entire year since this journey began. When I look back and think about it, I am actually a little happy I broke my hip in the shower. I never would have found cancer. Thank goodness for a wonderful surgeon that "got rid of" a majority of the cancer and gave me a partial hip replacement. Also, great big kudos to my oncologist whom I am still working with and at my last appointment gave me good news with the word REMISSION. It's been a very long year and could not have done it without all of you, my readers. Thank you so much for the constant love, support, and prayers. 

As many of you know, I have decided to retire early from St. John Neumann. My actual last day will be February 22...Ash Wednesday! I will be going into the Lenten season very thankful for a job I loved and the wonderful support I received. It will be a time for personal growth and reflection of what will come. But as I write this, I feel stronger each day and I have so much to be thankful for.

Thanks again to all!
