Willo came over. She and Chris and Tyler came out to the office to say Hi to Barry. Willo was pretty excited when she spotted me. Grannie! When I went to the house awhile later, she wanted to go outside, so we did, for just a few minutes. When it was time for her to go home, she asked if Tyler and Shawn were coming too. Chris said that it made him feel good when he asked her if she was ready to go back, and she said she wasn't.

At one point, when Barry, Tyler and I were still sitting at the dining room table, Ginger came into the family room. "How did Ginger get out?" I asked. And then Willo's little face appeared from around the corner, and Tyler said, "How do you think?"

I got to talk to kelly. Just made me happy to hear her voice. 

Went to the gym without any real struggle. Barry is still fixing dinner, and cleaning up after. I made progress with Prophesy yesterday, but stopped just short of victory.

June 5. Annette said that I am like a mother to her. We were talking about my coming back with to pre-op with her and Andrew. She wanted me there. "You are like a mother to me." 

The tone in Andrews voice when he paid for my lunch. It was 11 when they finally took Annette back. Andrew asked me if I wanted to go to the cafeteria. Took us a minute to find it, and it is more of a food court than anything, with three or four different stations. When I got my plate, he asked if I wanted to put it on his tray, and he  got to the cashier first, while I was getting my drink. I got my card out, but he said, "Mom, I've got this" and I could just tell from his expression that I needed to let him do it.

Annette --- "I woke up at 1 or 2 a.m. thinking that we didn't have end of the year cookies."

Annette had her doctor's appointment yesterday. Cancer surgeon, re: the melanoma. The day she told me about the diagnosis and appointment, I called her back, and told her I didn't want to be intrusive, but if she didn't need me for anything else that day, I'd like to go to the appointment with her and Andrew. She said, "You can come! I don't mind at all!" As it happened, Andrew had an emergency at work and had to leave after the appointment, and I stayed with her while she had her pre-op tests done. She sent me a text aftewards and said, "Thank you for coming with me today. It meant so much. Love you." And that made me happy. I'm never exactly sure when and where I am supposed to be, but it seems I made the right choice that day.

~Beverly sent me a message and said, "JA and Tori are on the phone right now, talking about how important the joy journals are."
