Yep its been a while since I have written, sorry about that. Summer is right around the corner, can't wait for that sunshine.
I have started the 12 week treatment chemo. This is a different medication that I will get once a week, 11 to go. I thought this would be wrapped up in June I was wrong, chemo will last until August. I will have two more surgeries, the Dr punctured my spacer and it now has to be removed and replaced, that will not be until after chemo has been completed. Looks as though everything will stretch out through Feb 2010.
Grandma has had her share of issues too. Her shoulder has torn again, she will need another surgery. She is very disappointed about this. She worked so hard to do everything the Dr said and still didn't work. They have not scheduled that yet, will keep you posted though.
Miss Kendall will be taking a trip to Tennessee the Country Music Awards June 10 with her buddy Rachel. Make A Wish has made all the arrangements. Can't wait til they come back with pictures. I told Kendall to go to Dolly World and get her mom some boobs. They will get to go back stage with a few of the singers, they are so excited. Rachel is on her last treat at this time, radiation for ten days and she should be in the clear thank the lord.
Kimberlee did it.She will graduate on JUNE 7 at the Tacoma Dome, we are having a BBQ the Saturday before. She has really grown up, This is when I as a parent looks back, hoping that I raised her to the best of my ability. I am so proud of her.

1924: The Ethics of Friendship
1924: The Ethics of Friendship
It is not enough to make friends; you must know how to keep them. When you make a new friend whose friendship you value and wish to keep, learn his idiosyncracies and respect them. Learn his little peculiarities of manner and bear with him. Force yourself to be conscious always of the fact that while he has faults of which you are aware, you have faults of which he is aware. The ideal friend overlooks these little things and looks only for the big.
Doubt and suspicion are fatal to friendship. A friend worth having is a friend worth trusting. In time of doubt there should be a frank explanation. A true friend will not listen to criticism from others regarding his friend; will never gossip about him; will protect him from slander; will refuse to hear or believe evil of him.
There should be absolute sincerity in friendship. If your friend has done something or said something of which you disapprove, go to him and talk to him about the matter. You are false to your friendship if you talk to others about it.
If you want to correct a friend for some mistake he has made, do so with all the grace and tact you would use in correcting a stranger. No one resents being corrected. It is the manner of the person who makes the correction that is usually resented. Your friend is certainly entitled to as much consideration as you show your acquaintances.
Too many of us feel that we can take liberties with our friends that we would not dare to take with strangers. Handle your friend's book as carefully as you would the book of a new acquaintance, more carefully than you would handle your own. Do not feel that because it is with your friend that you have an engagement that you can be half an hour late. Real friendship is founded on courtesy, kindness, and understanding.
