Dancing with My Star
One day last week we were holding hands, walking in the middle of a hamburger café in Ithaca NY, when Cathy announced “I’m stuck! My brain says ‘go’ but my feet won’t move.” I encouraged her to mimic me and do a monster step she learned in physical therapy and shimmy, and so she did. Immediately we were doing a one-step-line-dance to some terrible music with good rhythm. We laughed and hugged and then finished our bathroom-back-to-table adventure. More and more we encounter these precious moments.
Last week we also returned to Duke Cancer Center for another stable MRI check-up. Wonderful! However, the glio-invasion continues, silent and stealth, capturing small bites of her short-term memory, problem-solving abilities and physical skills. Shame on you Glio, you sneaky b-word!!! We are learning firsthand about palliative care and are giving way to home care support. We have relocated our sleeping quarters downstairs as our stairway has aligned with the enemy. God, thank you for this prep time with my Soulmate, my Sweetface, my Doodles, my Cathy, Your Cathy.
Last night, we bucket-list traveled to Hershey PA, to attend our first-ever political rally. We listen to J D Vance and had a great time. It was fun, educational and enjoyable being part of the 10,000+ energetic attendees. We like Vance. All these new experiences make us feel like dancing!!!

Prayers continue for you both as always.

Great memories being made and good for you both at your first rally! Continued prayers.

I met Cathy at Total Health Wellness many years ago. I had no idea she was having this issue. Please give her a hug from me. She is one of the sweetest people I have ever met. A beautiful soul. May GOD bless you, dear Cathy. 🙏❤️🙏🙏
Prayers continue and I am so glad you are still able to be out and about.
As they say in New Orleans, laissez les bon temps…let the good times continue to roll!!!
Love you both!
Thank you again for an inspirational update. My wife Ashleigh is still in remission and I remember talking with Cathy when each received their diagnosis’s. God has been good in each of their journeys and I praise God that Cathy has Tom sharing this challenging journey with her!
So glad to hear of your happy moments amidst the struggles.
Prayers each day for the Lord’s peace and guidance .
Sending prayers, love and hugs!
Sending prayers and hopes for more precious memories!
Theirs only a few people I would consider close friends and both of you are at the top
Stay strong and faithful.
Missing you both and hope to see both soon! In our daily prayers and rosary. Loe hugs and kisses
