three days off

We're excited, whisper boy and I after treatment this morning are heading back to Modesto for three days. Mike is ready for the time out. The radiation mask is increasingly difficult with the saliva gagging issue. But each day he goes back there with a encouraging smile and graciousness for the radiation team. 

Last night we were listening to a CD and Mike one minute had his head against the wall listening, letting the wall hold him up and the next he broke into a little dance. I guess you had to be there, but it was very funny. We love those little unexpected joy moments! they come out of the blue and lift us to this very cool place as a couple. 

Write to us. We love it, we need it, and it helps us keep things normal. We know that for some of you, you don't know what to say, so you figure it best to say nothing. Nobody can make this better but the Lord, so just love us by showing us you are there, and write us. Nothing encourages us more than reading your words to us. It makes our day to read what you have written and sometimes Mike and I read them over and over. So if you are feeling weird about writing on the blog, or can't figure it out, email us at mauisusan@gmail.com 

thank you for loving us!
