The Past Haunts the Future
Dec. 28th, 2016 11:30 amFirst I would like to wish Stan the Man Lee a very happy birthday. Next year will be Stan and Joanie’s 70th wedding anniversary. I hope that I can move as well as he can when I am 94. Seriously the man is amazing and spectacular. I have enjoyed the conversations we have had over the years. I think one of my favorites was the chat we had about bowling.
Yesterday and today are a little difficult for me. Today is the fourth anniversary of Peter’s stroke. And I am more grateful than I can ever express that Peter’s recovery was so through. Last week’s health scare just reminded me about all that happened four years ago.
But I also remember the out pouring of love and support from his friends and fans. I remember people working to make sure we didn’t have to worry about things like our cats, our deductibles, and our lives outside the hospital. After I got home and Peter went into rehab, I knew that I had support that I could call on if I needed it and that was a great relief. People cared about us and we knew it, which made what we had to do easier.
I was reminded of this when we posted about Peter’s recent illness and again lots of love came his direction. Peter is fine and working on regaining his strength and balance. He is getting better each day.
Caroline had an adventure as she is now deemed old enough to no longer be considered an un-accompanied minor by some airlines. I said Good-bye to her at the security gate and made her promise to text me when she got to the gate, on the plane, and at her destination. She is in Jacksonville for the next couple of days to spend time with her sisters who are all there right now along with her nephews. I had no worry about her navigating the airport because it was in a terminal she has spent a lot of time in and she knows the drill about how to find your gate. I think it made her feel grown-up.
The next couple of days are going to be sorting out Peter’s rehab and the like. With some good luck, this will just be a small bump in the road rather than a road block.
I am grateful for all the people who have had our backs.
