Happy Birthday Carol!

 Today is a special day in our Sister Three World.  Our oldest sister, Carol is celebrating her birthday.

Carol is a wonderful sister.  She was amazing at the cottage looking after Tina's needs.  She is a beautiful person and I always enjoy the times that we can spend together.  

She enjoys it when people stop in to her beautiful part of Canada. I am sure that her Prince Charming will do something to spoil her today because she deserves it.

She's got a great family that loves her as she opens her arms to her own children, Mike's kids and Tyler.  The house is often food and there is lots of love and food to go around.

This year has been very hard and Carol adopted a new little friend to give her love when she needs that unconditional love.

Happy Birthday Sister One....Carol, we love you!

News from Tina's world....

Janie, or Jane, as others call her stopped in and sent me this report:

"Hey FYI saw Tina quick today and I thought she looked great all things considered.  I even got to have a quick chat with Carol!  And your mom was there & Anthony....I didn't talk to Tina long as she was videoing with Carol."

Janie didn't come empty handed and I'm sure that they all enjoyed her visit and her goods!  She made sure that Dad was to get some for his belated birthday treat.

Carol and Tina were able to have a short video chat on Monday.  Carol said that it was so good to see her and hear her voice.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to join in due to an appointment.

Last week, Jenn brought a hospital bed for Tina.

Tina is now set up in the back sunroom and Janie said that it seemed comfy out there.  She can now supervise all those that hang out clothes in the backyard.  

We talked to Emma and Jenn a couple of minutes ago and they are on their way to Tina's.  Casey and a PSW were there to help Tina with a shower.  It has now become a two person care for Tina.

Judy continues to do her Tuesdays and it is so appreciated.

I just talked to mom and dad today and they said that Donna B. was just there dropping off some Royal Coachman dinners and a homemade raspberry pie. She was on her way to visit Tina and drop something off there.  

I may have missed some of the people that have helped, visited or brought food as Tina doesn't feel like chatting as much these days.  Please feel free to send me a message if you visit, help, bring food in order to help us continue to document Tina's journey.

We want to say that we STEELE appreciate all of you.  This disease is moving fast and sometimes we find it hard to breathe when we hear the progression.   When I told Carol yesterday that I was having a hard time catching a breath, she said, "But we must.  We will get through this together."

So together we stand.  Thank you for STEELE standing with us.  We may be leaning a little harder on you these days.
