The huge, peculiar sleeps seem to have done the trick and I'm relatively normal again.
What a thrill to go out and escape the tedium! Cancer just has to be the most boring subject ever. I had a wonderful morning, calling and visiting high schools which may be able to accommodate the Grade 7 children from Salvazione next year. Yvonne Kane and I were lucky to meet some interesting people and among other schools, we may be able to arrange for some of the children to go to John Orr School and have the fees waived. We popped into Salvazione and just the sight of those children, so gainfully engaged with their work, and hearing their sweet greetings was a tonic.
We're so looking forward to seeing James. I confess that I've indulged in a youthful fantasy of mine and encouraged him to replace the ancient Merc with a gorgeous, two seater, soft top sportscar instead of a sensible Golf or Yarris (same price, strangely) so there's some fun to be had on the weekend looking at suitable candidates.
Dear Margi,
ReplyDeleteAlways glad to read your notes and very much hoping for good news. The story about the children is inspiring. Just visited a very good friend, six months younger than I, who, after a six-year battle, is cancer-free. She's thin and a little tired, but her blue eyes are as bright as ever! Dave and I send you our best love, Liz
Dearest Margi, Thinking of you all further down the coast..(we are in Natal for Ant's half term)hope the sun is shining on and for you, especially test driving soft top sports cars!! Hope it is you with your fair hair flying beside James in the driving seat??
ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration to many and example to all.. how uplifting amongst all your challenges, to look to others and teh kids at Salvazione?
What a busy weekend you have, sound like my mother when I find myself telling you not to overdo it!!Your family sound like a second backbone? They have done you proud!
Will be in JHB early Sept will sms and see if you up to a visit?
Meanwhile you are in our thoughts and prayers,
You are not alone " I will never leave or forsake you" says the Lord, keep trusting and your eyes fixed on things eternal,
Big hug and much love Pom
You WILL whip this Margi! You so will! A good friend in JHB diagnosed at stage 4 is clear after only 6 months. The secret? She just knew she would be. Lots of love dear friend. Bridgie Hamilton Russell
