My WBC lingers at 0.18, it seems to bounce up and down slightly each day but no upward turn towards the 10.0 I need to get back to, hard to start each day with a little disappointing news, but I need to balance that with patience and not get overly emotionally attached to this stat. Overall still feeling great.
My Dad and step mom flew down from New York to visit for the week. Great to see them and they seemed happy to be dodging the next snow storm that was about to hit this week. With the sun shining, we headed downstairs and outside for lunch by the lake. It doesn't get old.
The big news of the day came later in the day when my friends who organized the tennis benefit this past Sunday back in Vero Beach asked Joanne to come over to the club for the final presentation. I joined in via speaker phone as the lead dog - Gary Schafer - announced his way through all the various components that went on throughout the day and the amounts raised from each activity. The numbers mounted quickly and in the end, over $10,000 came in from an event pulled together in one week. WOW. Speechless. Apparently a huge embrace went up around Joanne and a few tears flowed. Tears of joy in this case.
It is impossible to express enough gratitude to the people who organized, participated, and some just flat out donating without really even knowing us personally. We're so humbled and thankful for the support and this is just an amazing story. I'll just keep saying it because it will take a long time to say it enough to them - THANK YOU!
Always great to put another good day in the books.
Wow! That's amazing. So glad you not only are getting the financial support but have such caring friends there too.
