Joy would like for me to share some of her thoughts with you. My daily trip to the mail box usually results in a bounty of get well cards for both Joy and me. After a prolonged illness, greeting cards usually begin to fall off after several weeks however, we have continued to receive numerous cards to add to our several hundred on a daily basis. Now, this is not a solicitation for more cards but a sincere acknowledgement of our appreciation for your extra ordinary concern for both of us. This includes family members, friends, church friends and high school buddies. Joy was especially touched to receive a blog comment from Bob Loghry several days ago. Bob and Joy began kindergarten together and traversed the Montpelier Public School System through the 12 th grade. It was such a thoughtful gesture and to realize how firm old friendships really are.
For, Stephen Bauer, just in case the great "The Ohio State University" wins the battle with your school, can we settle on dinner at Hamilton Lake next summer? This will be conditional upon your mother not eating the seafood platter next year.
People are beginning to inquire about our return to Chicago and the direct answer is that we do not know but, we are "kinda" hoping for the first of November but will disappointed if we are not there by Thanksgiving. Just to many bridges to cross to be more specific.

Joy-
We'll keep a light on in the proverbial pulmonary rehab window!

Mom and Dad,
As much as I have enjoyed the ability to get in the car and as quoted by Kierra, "not waste 18 hours" to see you, it will be a joyous occassion for everyone when mom is well enough to head north again. This year as Thanksgiving and Christmas slowly approaches us in the next few months, we have so much to celebrate and to be thankful for. With mom's birthday coming up in the next couple of day's (minus the cake and candles), we can still sing and celebrate that God has given her yet another year and with his grace many more to come. With all the love, support and the gift of life given to mom and her family, we simply can not ask for anything more then that.
Love,
Caroline
Wayne & Joy,
You're on! But I'm not giving any points... I'll take my steak medium rare. Trina would like a veggie burger. Can't wait to collect. Glad to hear you're both doing well. It's great that you're able to start thinking about going back home. I'm sure the gang is keeping a light on for you! Happy Birthday to Joy! We'll think of you when we eat something sinful (think b-day cake) over the weekend.
Love to all,
Steve & Trina
