Our New Life

Today was a normal day of our new life. Up in the morning, breakfast, in the car to drive to the Radiation Center, then off to find something to do for the rest of the day.

The weather has been bitter cold with temps way below zero. I told Justin to pack his winter coat and he told me he didn't have one anymore...he left it back at college. So off we went today to get him a real coat. After searching many stores, we finally found a really good one. On sale. Unfortunately, the sale price was way more than I wanted to spend...but everything else was very low quality. Oh, well, now we won't have to worry about it anymore. He is warm, and I am happy.

We have been getting to know the others staying here. I met one couple last night-Cherie and Alan. Alan has a brain tumor similar to Justin's, but in the later stage. His doc told him if he did all the treatments, he might live 14 more months. He was very concerned about Justin and was a real encouragement to me. I found out quickly that they are Christians, so the bond we share was evident from the start. Now I look for them each time I go to the common areas.
