Dear Molers:
Today my husband Tom and I are very thankful that we are on the brink of
reaching the first milestone we set for ourselves-- to see in the millennium.
Our next goal will be his 63rd birthday on March 29. And after that our
25th wedding anniversary on June 13. I recall vividly at the beginning of
this year my husband complained of chest pain and due to elevated
cholesterol, our doctor ordered a stress test. My husband has always been an
athelete-ski jumper, marathon runner--and his stress test was so amazing that
our doctor said he'd be ecstatic if he could have the same results at Tom's
age. Now I realize it wasn't his heart at all, but his lung situation which
had probably been building up since the three years he was seen at MSKCC for
a benign mass and never seen again. But we have let go of the anger and are
now cherishing each day. To those of you who have had a loss, we send our
deepest sympathies and condolences. We are keeping a memorial list
permanently on our Buddhist alter. For those of you still fighting like us,
I wish that the millennium brings the miracle of good health, happiness, and
serenity for us all. All the best. Bess
