Remembering Ted Kennedy

Our "big adventure" today was to go to the lab for weekly blood tests. Before going there we went out for lunch at Java on Main Street. But Mark was not hungry, so he ordered just a bagel and latte. And he was not really hungry for supper. I'm wondering if the chemo is playing games now with his appetite. When this happens it's harder work to entice him with nutritious foods that he likes. Hopefully tomorrow will be better!

This was also a sad day, learning that Ted Kennedy died. He had the same type of brain tumor as Mark. I'm glad that the tributes to him have been so postitive, for he really did accomplish a lot in the political world, especially for the most needy. When I was in college, I worked two summers as a Nanny in the home of Joe Kennedy's personal physician (in Massachusetts.) There were photos and stories of the Kennedys who were in the same social network. I did not personally meet them, but from that time period on, that family was part of our history. May God give them all His peace and comfort.
