Happy Belated Birthday Kris!! Kris's birthday was Wednesday and the family celebrated together with lots of laughs.
Steve's been doing well, feeling pretty good, and weathering the emotional ups and downs as best he can. He shared some laughter with Sharon earlier in the week, an old friend of his parents from their Long Island days. Sharon has twin sons Steve's age, and a daughter just a bit older (hi Lisa, Steve and Jeff!). The families spent a lot of time together growing up. Keith, Sharon's husband, and Joe volunteered at the fire department together. (I can still see that photo of you two suited up and smiling.)
On the doctor front, Steve has an appointment with his pulmonologist next week. We're eager for that visit.
Thanks to everyone who continues to write in comments. They are shared with Steve and we're always so grateful for the support.
