Is Anyone Still Reading This??

It appears that no one is contributing to it and virtually no one is commenting on it. I still believe this is a great way to stay in touch with the family and hope everyone in all generations of the Larry Packard family who is reading it will leave a comment and let us know you're still interested.

I hear that Mom and Dad are in Tucson tonight at Tara's final piano recital there before they all take off for El Paso tomorrow. We wish them the best and want Tamara and Tara especially to know that they are in our prayers because some of us know first hand how difficult a move is at that age. We hope things go well for you and that you will know that you are loved and missed.

Robert and I visited with Mom and Dad on Sunday evening looking ahead to the chemo treatment for yesterday. I think Mom is doing remarkably well - especially in her optimism and positive spirit. She's a good example to all of us. She had had Cindy and her family to dinner that evening to celebrate Cindy's birthday. They gave us all the updates from being with Velma's family at Alvin's funeral. We enjoyed seeing the pictures of all the cousins.

Hope everyone is doing well and it would be great to hear from you if you see this post. Take care, all.

I sure hope I get in this time!

I just wrote a long blog and I guess I punched the wrong thing "cause it disappeared" and I cannot find it! This is the 2nd or 3rd time I have done this! I'll never catch on to this darn computer! This had been a "Bonus Good Week" as the chemo was delayed a week! We were able to get into the hosp. and Dr. and have the "port" put in the left shoulder last Tues.--all went well! Now I won't have to go thru 3 (experts?) nurses to find a vein each time I have a shot! And each nurse gave me 2-3 "punches" with the needle! Fun?! Ha! This Mon. I will have the chemo--I wonder how it will affect me this time?! Probably just weak for a week or so! So wish me luck!! If the chemo schedule continues as it should--every 3 weeks--the Sun. , Dec. 23rd, will be great for me for the Family Xmas Party! How about all of you? Maybe we could get Steve to stay for Xmas day too! Please let us know! I'll try to do better--or have Grdpa do it!! Love ya~!
