star of the week 7/8

My heartfelt thanks to Margie Mirken. We found out many years ago that we are distantly related (her mother's maiden name was Coleman). As it turns out in this time of trouble, she has fulfilled every hope and dream that I could have for a loving and supportive family member. This week she accompanied my son James and I (actually she drove as well) to a critical visit with my physician, Dr. Weber. She held James and I up, as the going was very tough. She and her husband Greg have been there from the beginning of this "adventure" in so many ways. She has cleaned my house, been a spiritual counselor, cooked what meals I have been able to keep down, taken me into their home, even physically kept me from passing out during the worst of the chemotherapy side effects.
I have really learned what family means through Margie. Thank you.

Gregory
