3/3/03 …

Seven years ago yesterday. I was never very good with dates, and in the last year actually knowing what day it is can be a stretch for me. I woke up this morning thinking that it was 3/3/10 so I guess I am actually a day late on remembering the significance of yesterdays anniversary.
It was seven years ago as I mentioned before that Beth was wheeled out of her first surgery, tumor free. That successful first surgery brought us 5 plus years of tumor free living. It wasn’t easy times, and for the first several we lived in fear of hearing the dreaded words of her cancer’s return. But we lived a lot in those years following. I think that is part of the reason why I don’t feel sad thinking about this being seven years after that time, yet she isn’t with me any more. I remember a lot of trials, but I also remember hikes, kayak trips, travels to South America, birthdays, road trips, family gatherings, nephews and nieces being born. Life went on and we lived it. Life for me now goes on and I am trying my best to live it.
It’s turning out to be a beautiful day here in Sitka. It snowed this morning and now the sun is out and the air is crisp. I am going back outside…1 responses to “3/3/03 …”

Hi Kevin,
I found a few pictures taken at your house when Beth and you hosted a basi for me and Grace. I, too, fond of visiting those days with Beth’s big smile. I miss seeing her orange-glow hair in the sun as we sat on the lawn in front of the Rotunda, chatting away. I cherish the time you guys visiting me in VTE. You are missed back here in WA. I have your address. And will send you postcard from Laos when we visit my mom and family this summer.
