I decided not to turn this into the tragic cancer blog but in fact, just a week after this last post in June, Akhil was diagnosed with cancer. All I can say is be grateful for your life. It's not all in our control!

So, now he's through all the treatment and they tell us prognosis is excellent. One has to roll with the punches. Can't curl up in a ball and stay in bed all day.

Just two days after the last radiation treatment it was off like troopers to Todd and Leah's wedding in Mystic, CT, complete with an authentic New England clambake rehearsal dinner. Akhil's parents graciously attended and we met all my long-lost cousins, aunts and uncles. Todd and Leah took off for Hawaii the next day, and we headed out for a blissful few days on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard.

Now, it's full steam ahead with work and life. It's hard to stay positive and thankful all the time but something like this really helps in a pinch. Perspective is a gift. Thank you.
