As I read your blog to Bob, it's amazing to hear your continued humour-with sarcasm! You are truly an amazing young woman with tremendous determination which at this time with the many setbacks may be faltering at times- hang in there!

I was so inspired just by my short visit with her in her T.O. hospital room back in September - I left with a different attitude towards my limited mortality and what I thought were "significant issues" in life!! <br /><br />I sometimes used to wonder what Grammy Swim was like as a young woman - I think she and Alley could have pass for sisters!! Very determined (yes, OK ... stubborn!)... focusing on the ultimate goal of enduring taunting challenges by drawing on energy reserves that would put marathon runners to shame... all the while, maintaining a witty sense of humour and seeing the positive lining in the darkest of clouds!! <br /><br />Yes, a book would be good... a screenplay would be better ...though a feature-length movie would NOT be long enough!! (it definitely would rival The Hobbit!!!! - all three episodes [9+ hours!!]) ...and it would have to be a comedy!!! ;-)"<br /><br />Alley, we are all praying and thinking the most positive of thoughts for you... Its been a long ordeal, but we know that if anyone can get through this - YOU CAN!!!<br /><br />Love, your Uncle MarkAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10458779923418296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6990342381052139183.post-18246602546620364162015-01-29T22:10:02.354-04:002015-01-29T22:10:02.354-04:00good news and I do understand how hanging out with...good news and I do understand how hanging out with pleasant nurses all weekend may not be the number one priority for you! hopefully you'll be able to go home ... nothing like your own bed!Suenoreply@blogger.com
