Clearer Skies

Dear family and friends,

Just a quick update on mom.  We received some promising news last week.  The treatment is working!  Her doctor said he was amazed at the results of the most recent scan which showed a reduction of cancer in her bones, and a reduction of the tumor in her lung.  All of the hard work she's been bravely enduring is bringing some hopeful news.  While not fully healed, she is on the right path.

Dad has been the most amazing caretaker.  He's always veered on the side of optimism and positive thinking...and that focus along with prayers and lots of love have enveloped the house with an uplifting, radiant energy.  He's learned some new skills...and is especially proud that he's learned to make his mother's famous Puerto Rican beans...and I must say, he's pretty good at it.  Just ask him!  He's happy to share the recipe because he's got it down pat.  Actually -- they're so good, he's considering taking them for evaluation to the empress of PUerto Rican beans..my grandmother.  He hasn't quite yet, as he is perfecting his technique -- and we enjoy them in the meantime as does mom.   ...Don't even get him going on his cream-of-wheat culinary adventure!

While mom has a way to go on this road to recovery, we thank you deeply for the prayers, chants, positive thoughts and supportive words you've sent her way.  They really do make a difference.
Lovingly,
Rhonda Robert and Denise
