Good Evening World! Well, life has changed so much. My dear husband, Dennis, died of cancer on April 20, 2019. I miss him so. The last year of his life was filled with a MVA and diagnosis of lymphoma 2 months after the head-on car accident. The other guy's fault. Dennis had trouble walking on September 12, 2019 - I rushed him to Evergreen Hospital - where he didn't leave and was transported to UW Montlake. He ended up having a big surgery to remove tumors from his spine. He spent 3 weeks in hospital and returned home at the end of October 2019. He received his first chemo treatment in hospital. The next months were filled with trips to Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. When Dennis started having falls and cognitive issues - his doctor said that palliative care was the next step. Dr Smith said "get your affairs in order" I was in shock. How could this be? Dennis and I were married for 38 years and together for 40 years. Father Vu renewed our marriage vows at our house days before Dennis passed. Whew... this was hard to write and relive this time. I miss him so. So... here goes with what has happened in the interim from when I first started this blog. It's more of a journal - since I don't write very well. I do type just fine! Matt and Stephanie married, bought a house and had two boys Ryan (b june 25 2015) and Daniel (b 12/31/2016) In January 2020 - Matt and Stephanie seperated. They are going through a divorce and the boys are here half time. Dennis Daniel and Britt are still together; making a beautiful life for their 3 girls. Louisa, Mary and Margaret. They live in Sammamish. I don't get to see them as much as I would like.. I'll update more when I have more time. LOTS to catch up on.
