Marilyn...

at the Mermaid

I've known Marilyn since about 1994 - and for most of those 20 years she has been a real inspiration to many of us who have known her through work or other

she has coped with Lupus, epilepsy, breast cancer, leukemia, kidney function at less than 30% normal (and other stuff)

today she was well enough for lunch in between hospital appointments (7 unit blood transfusion in January is being monitored)

she told me I couldn't take her photo...I ignored her

meantime if I can add my health issues...my back is not normal yet because my pelvis is still out of alignment...but I had my reality check and took Kassidy for a half hour walk in the wood to celebrate life!
