Ferrets are Cool

We, wifey and I, had a bit of a special event Friday afternoon. We ate out for the first time since she got sick 5 [View all]

years ago. It might not sound like much, but it was a great day for us. She is an amazing person, having overcome kidney cancer, stage 4 lymphoma, a brain infection caused by a badly mismanaged Ommaya reservoir, and leukemia brought about my all the chemo from the lymphoma. For all she has been through, she is doing fantastic.
Now to the event on Friday. She loves hot and sour soup and I have gotten it for her as take out several times in the last year, but for her to be able to actually order it in our favorite Asian restaurant was wonderful. She also got her favorite main dish, moo goo gai pan. She always says, I'm gonna try something different today, but ends up getting the same thing every time.
Just thought I would share some good news.
Thanks for being here, my friends.
