A visit from Family Friends

On Wednesday 11/15 our beloved Tiffany Thompson, Charlie's best friend since childhood, and her dear Mom, Gwen, took the long ride from MacArthur Boulevard in Washington out to the wilds of Columbia!

Bearing wonderful delights from our old neighborhood deli, Parkway, they arrived with arms full of wonderful chicken noodle soup and an outrageous assortment of five layer cakes - coconut, chocolate, and German chocolate.

The crowning glory of the visit was the presentation of Miss Bunny, a beautiful bunny rabbit made just for me at Build-a-Bear, dressed in a hospital scrub suit, ready to go do battle with me at chemo tomorrow. Each paw, when pressed, delivered a personal get well soon note from Charlie, Adam , Herman and Tiffany! Well - can I tell you that thankfully, we hadn't gotten to the i-Pad lessons yet, so no photos were taken during Bunny's unveiling. I probably cried big ugly tears for five minutes!

Of course, heaven forbid Bunny have only one fashion statement -- she also came with a sparkly white sweater and skirt, sequinned shoes and silky undergarments for her off-duty days!

The objective of the visit was for Tiffany to give me i-Pad lessons! So, I tried to clear away the tears long enough for her to take this photo of Gwen, Bunny & me.

Thank you, thank you, thank you - Tiffany & Gwen, Charlie, Adam & Hermie.
