It's Saturday. I'm feeling good. The headache went away, but I feel a little dehydrated. I need to MAKE myself drink more water. I hate doing that if we're going somewhere, cause then I need to pee. Sheesh! I've had little microseconds of nausea but overall, feel good, other than a bit tired.
We picked up my ring yesterday. They look so much better when they actually fit the finger. It's very pretty. Plans continue to press forward. I've had a number of epiphanies regarding things for the wedding. I met a minister with the last name Reller a number of years ago, after being asked many times if we were related. I thought that it would somehow be significant if he was involved. Thanks to the efforts of my girl Friday, he is doing our ceremony. I was floundering over colors. The ribbon color for pancreatic cancer is purple--problem solved.
Thanks again to my planners and the people contributing to this effort. You are all awesome. We are cleaning up the house today. My sisters are coming tomorrow. One will do our taxes (THANK YOU!) and the others will cook. I'm looking forward to seeing them all in one place.

Just Travelling Down Abby's Road
My final journey in this life is just beginning. I've shared a previous journey a couple of years ago and found blogging to be therapeutic and a way to share with others. Some may find this macabre and others may find it helpful in their own dealings. We are all on a final journey to somewhere.

Hi Jane,
I just read through your blog. Wow. Some flashbacks from my own waiting and worrying came back, but mostly I just feel for you, Michael, and the rest of your family.
Even though our contact has been sporadic -- but always heartfelt and special -- over the years, we both count each other as friends who would do whatever we could for each other no matter the need, big or small. I am here for you in whatever way I can be.
I am thinking of you and praying for you and I won't stop. I'll be checking in on your blog.
Love,
Claudia
Claudia - thank you so much. It means a lot that you're in my life. jr
Hi Jane,
I wanted you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I love that you a have a sense of humor in a time I could not comprehend for myself. You are an inspiration once again.
We are all creatues of this great earth and interconnected in ways beyond our understanding. Thank you for sharing your life with me and others in such a loving and unshelfish way.
I am reminded of the Elephants. So big.
So strong.
and yet when a member of the herd passes even elephants mourn. They gather around extend thier trunks, and gently touch the tusks of thier fallen friend.
It is their ritutal.
It is how they heal.
And it is sad.
And it is beautiful.
So maybe what we are trying to say is that the world does not expect you to be fine with this. Be how you need to be in this time and know that you are thought of with love.
If I can do ANYTHING do not hesitate to let me know.
Michelle Penfold, Splash and Rusty....
Thank you Michele. Funny how word spreads. I'm glad you know. I've really missed visiting the hospital. jr
