The Weekend, In A Nutshell

The French phrase for the day:

Allez! Un petit effort!

{Come on! Try a little!}

My Larry and I celebrated the end of the week with dinner.

Karen & John gave us an amazing bottle 

 of St Emilion last weekend.

{thank you Karen & John}

Your thank you note is in the mail.

Yes, a Pink Unicorn Card!

Karen, John, we wrote in it while enjoying dinner.

That should explain a few things. 

Sunday dinner was a small darne. {filet, in French}

Mashed potatoes and asparagus.

On Saturday,

The leader of my weight watcher group

had a special meeting.

It was a breast cancer round table.

I took Larry with me

and

we both came away in awe.

To be honest,

 I have felt very alone in my struggles.

After all the surgeries, treatments 

and

random things that happen 

when someone has breast cancer,

I thought I was to be back to normal.

You know, same active Robin

same attitude, same energy.

I was not and am not the same person.

What an absolute relief!

All of this time I have been beating myself up,

making myself do things because I used to do.

Celeste, you are wonderful.

Along with your special breast cancer meeting,

Karen and John's special wine

and

a few very personal things that mean that

our family is healing,

it was an OK weekend.

Just in case, you do not know our family,

we are close.

Very close.

If you hurt one of us, you hurt all of us.

Larry and I have not heard one word from

the person who hurt our daughter so badly.

We have not seen him since his birthday in September.

I hope he is well and his family happy.

Love you beyond all the broken hearts.
