This past week has been wonderful both weather and activity-wise. Sabine's niece, Meg Lobitz, came for a visit. Meg lives in the Chicago area and is a veterinarian. It was great to see her and connect with the Lobitz side of the family (Meg is Sabine's brother, Rainer's daughter).
Home dialysis continues to go well and we are looking forward to doing some traveling this winter.
Next week we take our lab tests in preparation for our meeting with Dr Sheehan the following week. We still need positive thoughts/prayers for the continued repression of Sabine's cancer.
It was also the kind of week which inspired us as we watched the magnificent fall colors come to our Blue Mounds.
It was also time for a poem...
each day
we visit
our great cathedral
its gothic arches
golden autumnal branches
its nave
the lengthy trodded path
carpeted with leafy reds, golds and umbers
its high altar
the limestone outcropping
we call eucharistic rock
its baptistery
the gurgling brook
yes each day
we enter God’s temple
an angelic choir
of chirping choruses
of hues and shadows
mixed sparkling light
as we stand on the cliff
praising god
from whom all blessings flow
Thanks and blessings to all of you from the two of us still on the front lines.... still "battle buddies!"
