Well, it's not skiing in the Alps or surfing in Costa Rica, but the Joneses are taking an early spring break to get away to Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia. Andrew and I were there years ago - before we were married. In fact, it is where we first played ping pong and I was quite proud of myself for staying even with AJ - until he announced, "OK, now I'll play you right-handed." I recall being both angry (at myself for my foolish pride) and proud (of AJ for his racquet sport prowess).
And as we head back to the Greenbrier, I am once again angry (at the cancer and how much harder this is that I expected) and proud (again of AJ and how he continues to tolerate this!). The five of us (ok, maybe just me!) desperately "need" a holiday - especially since we won't be able to travel much over spring break. So this weekend feasting, playing tennis, hiking, wine tasting, and just lounging should be perfect.
But don't stop praying for us. Both Andrew & I have been sick this week. Andrew's cough of last week has never quite dissipated, and I am recovering from three days of a fever/flu. We're heading into the sweet spot of the chemo cycle and it would be great if we all could enjoy it! Thanks!
Thank you, again, for all these posts. Beyond the helpful updates, they are beautifully written. I just wanted to let you know that I'm still following and sending prayers and positive energy to you all. Take care, Rhonda
