Tonight's picture was taken in April of 2009, actually on Easter Day! Friends came to the hospital and hosted an Easter egg hunt for Mattie in the hospital hallways. Mattie had a great time. Friends stuffed the plastic eggs with toys, as they knew he did not love candy. I remember this day like it were yesterday!!!
Quote of the day: Today's coronavirus update from Johns Hopkins.
- Number of people diagnosed with the virus: 31,263,579
- Number of people who died from the virus: 562,504
Last evening we ate outside at Ca Del Sole. It was a beautiful setting, and their friends Gary and Marie joined us. My dad had lamb chops and ate up a storm. He had a big apple strudel with ice cream too!
Today we went out to lunch to the Smokehouse with my parents closest friends, John and Phyllis. My dad and John worked together at Warner Bros and I met John when I was in high school. We used to have dinner with him every Friday evening! So we go back a long time.
I am very grateful that Gary, Marie, John, and Phyllis were willing to get together with us to celebrate my dad's big birthday!
My dad received phone calls (from England too!), zoom calls with cousins, emails, cards, and lots of gifts!
It has been a busy day for me with lots of last minutes chores, as I leave my parent's house at 5am tomorrow morning to fly back home. I have to admit that it is hard to leave them behind because they need support. But I am aware of the fact that I need to get home to stabilize my headaches and focus on the Mattie Miracle Virtual Walk on May 16th!
