Belated Valentines Day

Anne was already home when I returned form Florida late Sunday night. I drove up to her house (about an hour with no traffic) on Monday afternoon. Her beautiful smile, sparkling eyes and hairless scalp greeted me from under the pink comforter as she lay in bed. We were so happy to see each other. Lip kisses were strictly forbidden so we had to settle for ones on the cheek.. well OK ..and on the neck but that was it. The past week had been so packed with emotion for both of us we reveled in the quite comfort of just being together. Nancy was near giving welcomed support and TLC, then she left to give us time alone. We talked a while and went out for a late afternoon walk. It was short as Anne was tired from a bad nights sleep. I cooked salmon for dinner with Nancy while Anne attempted to direct kitchen activities from the living room. I emphasize attempt, as she no longer has that authoritative demeanor she once wielded. We relaxed the rest of the evening, got a good nights sleep, and lazed around the next morning feeling, on the whole, a great deal better. There was a number of phone calls to make and some paperwork to tend to but mostly we just enjoyed "being". We took a lovely long walk in the sunshine along the nearby trail, her longest walk to date. It was a wonderfully Romantic day and perfect to declare our official Valentines Day for 2007. We did try to get Anne onto the blog but will need some help from Owen. I'll stop here so Anne can fill in the rest of the details along with her personal experiences when she is able to.

Much Love to All
