Cotton candy and time with Nana

I'll start this Nana heavy post with a couple pix of the kids enjoying some cotton candy, leftover from the hockey game last week. Nothing cuter than a blue tongue and that sugar-fueled energy in their eyes.

Good luck, Mom and Dad.

I drove back up to Oswego this morning. Today was the day we got Nana onto a hospice plan and finally ended her last shot at chemo. Daniel flew in last night, delayed a couple days by the blizzard. It was wonderful to have the family together one more time.

As you'll see in the photos, Mom's physical ability isn't what it was, but her spirit is still marvelous ... even though fatigue sets in much more rapidly.

Still, there was plenty of good time for hugs and celebrating the affection and appreciation we have for each other.
