My leukemia's back.

I couldn't possibly do that to my wonderful birds.

Mine’s been empty since August of 2017. Nothing in there but the occasional mouse - I hope.

Having your adult children return home to live, with their kids, is NOT for the fainthearted.

No it isn't, hard enough with just the kids. You aren't getting the benefit of grandparenthood - when you get tired of them you can't send them back to their house.

Shoot, if any of mine come back - again - I know how I’ll repurpose the chicken coop!

Yeah because with Fiona in the house there isn't room for more than 2 people, and barely that as it is!

So I'm a bit down and hopefully unloading will help. I have a friend (heavy ex user of chewing tobacco) who developed cancer of the larynx. He was given chemo and put into remission for several years. Well it came back a bit ago metastasized to his bones. Treatment had been going okay, but a recent fall and bone/muscle damage have resulted in a major 'attack' on the part of the cancer. Spoke to him today, and he has not given up the battle but is starting to make plans for relocating some of his dogs. I told him that I would raise, start and train a litter of pups with the optimistic outlook that they would eventually be returned to him. I'm not optimistic.

Thanks, 'Al', I put off this phone call as long as I could. "The worst part of getting old is not the physical infirmities it's the fact that so many of the people that you care about have already died." That's a quote from my Mom many years ago. I didn't fully grasp the total meaning then, but now it has become my new reality.

I’m so sorry! I hate it sometimes that we’re getting to the age where bridal showers,weddings, and baby showers are being replace with a sadder ceremony. I’ll certainly add him to my prayer list!

Thanks, Blooie.
