August 04 The Room Mate HuntOkay, So Tom had chosen to move out on his own, leaving the nest, spreading his.... well never mind all that! The point is, we need a room mate now to fill his room. As many of you know, Tom has the far bedroom on the quieter side of the apartment. The apartment is fully furnished, although we do have an additional storage unit down the hall from us for extra stuff! Michael will keep the loft bedroom since he travels so much and is rarely home. The rent is going to be $550, includes utilities, although Tom has been pitching in an extra $40 to help with the A/C bill. Being on the top floor in the dead of summer…. Yeah! The amenities of the property are amazing! We have a covered parking deck that is gated access only. We are on the 4th floor, with great views of the pool. The loft actually faces the Buckhead skyline, but that's Michael's! The unit is brand new with all new everything. The community offers a great gym with Spin classes, a cybercafé with free internet, a game room with wii and playstation, a daily continental breakfast complete with Starbucks! The pool is actually salt water, which we love and spend many Saturday's in. There is a trash valet, so no trips to the dumpster! There is a laundry service, one load a day free of charge! So feel free to call my cell if you have any questions or want to schedule a visit. 404-610-2103
   July 01 UpdateWow, with the everything being in such a state of chaos, it hadn't occurred to me that I hadn't written in a while.
Let me get some free time to sit down and think... I'll give you all some story lines.
But for now, just know that Amanda passed away on Father's Day and the family has been in a deep state of grief for a while now. Rest in Peace my beautiful girl. I love you so much! May 26 The Miracle of St. Jude'sIts a beautiful sunny morning in Atlanta. I have my coffee, out on the patio, watching the world awaken. I got some truly remarkable news this morning and I couldn't be more excited about it!!
AMANDA'S LUNGS ARE CLEAR!!!
Yup Yup!! She is improving far better and faster than they had hoped. You will recall they hoped very little! They told her yesterday that they are considering moving her to the Target House. This is the living quarter project, donated by Target Stores, Inc. for families of inpatients to reside during their childs' treatment at St. Judes. Tammy has been living there for a year now. This means that her lungs and her strength are returning and she will be out of isolation for the first time in over 6 months!!!
This is truly a miracle considering when she went into ICU we were told by some more pessimistic doctors that she would never come out again. Yet, here we are talking about moving her out of the hospital completely and back to an almost normal life!!
The miracle that is St. Jude's lives proud and strong!
I made a promise to Tammy and Amanda that I fulfilled today. I swore, after my last visit to Memphis, that once I got a job and began pulling a paycheck that I would donate monthly to St. Jude's as long as I'm alive! I read about it there at St. Jude's and also on their website, where you can sign up. The program starts at just $19 a month. This program provides care for one child whose family cannot afford the medical care of St. Jude's. I know from experience that St. Jude's picks up the tab on all medical care not covered by insurance. One can dare to imagine what the residual cost of Amanda's extensive, long term care has been since she's been there. After witnessing what they can do there and the awesome care they provide for children swung my vote.
Click on Donate Now and sign up for this program. Its literally nothing to give and you can write if off your taxes. I would rather have one more miracle walking out of St. Jude's cancer free, just like Amanda, than to let the Bush Administration buy another pointless gun any day!
I don't advocate solicitation to my friends, nor do I beleive in shoving causes down the throats of people... but this is not like that. This little girl has renewed my faith in God, in people, family & friends. There is no possible way to repay that, but at least I can make a difference in one child's life, just like someone in the past has done for Amanda.
Please, take a minute and go check it out. As my little girl would say, "Keep fighting the Good Fight!!" ... I know no better way!
Thanks in Advance!!
Hope + Beleive = Acheive!!!!
All my Prayers are with these young warriors!
