Walt Disney was right. Disney World is a place where "Dreams Come True". Gary's dream was to take Jake 9, Emma 7, and Mom Laura to Disney World to share in the magic with them. We spent last week at Epcot Center, Animal Kingdom, and the Magic Kingdom. It was a tiring trip for Gary, but he was a trooper and managed to spend about 6 hours a day at the parks. The rest of the time was spent loving and enjoying our grandkids.
I can't tell you how many of you have told me that they constantly check the blog for updates. Thank you. It is so very kind of you to care for Gary and for me.
Gary is on a daily, low doseage of chemo therapy that he swallows every night. Every night, we pray that it is getting to the tumor and killing it. It's making him very, very tired, but again, he never complains. We won't have an update on the tumor until mid October when he gets another MRI. It will show the results of the Gamma Knife surgery done on the 2 small nodules as well as whether the chemo is getting past the blood brain barrier to the tumor.
Our current plans are to leave our beloved Bend, Oregon for lovely La Quinta on November 3. We've had a magical summer and our prayers for "Quality of Life" have been answered. Things aren't perfect, but our love certainly is. We celebrate our 31s anniversary next week. I can tell you that we both feel closer sharing this trauma than ever before, if that's possible.

Thank you for sending me the book you made from your trip. You all look like you had a wonderful time, smiles all around! I loved it. I love you guys and am so glad you are taking care of your "Bucket List". You are going to be around for a very long time so keep adding items to your list - one of which I know will be to see Emma graduate High School. Keep laughing! Love, Sara
Happy Anniversary to two of the most beautiful people that I know. You share a love that very few people experience. You are both in my prayers.
