For the Record . . . One Year Later

By Mike

While working through the task of collecting and organizing Charlotte's
digital photos, I came across a scan of an X-ray I had not seen before.
It is a little poignant because it is one year ago today, around
midnight, we all got the life-altering and grave news of this tumor. I
still remember the tears and shock - none of us ever saw this coming.

For the record, and with permission, here is the X-ray of the tumor
which eventually took Charlotte from us after her brave struggle.

Laid to Rest

By Mike

Everyone has made it home from the funeral gathering. The winter roads were treacherous and caused delays and worry for us all. We were blessed to make it and enjoy the comforts of home.

On our way out of town, we stopped by Charlotte's grave and I snapped this photo. Our return to the grave site was particularly difficult and brought our emotions to the surface. Several tears were shed.
