Dear Friends and family,
We had a great Christmas, filled with all of the traditions of the season. The whole family attended Christmas Eve service at http://www.allsaints-el.org/
Spirits are strong as we walk through the valley.
Jean’s cancer has returned and has spread throughout her body. She is taking chemo therapy and I am praying that she will recover her strength. Two weeks ago I grew so concerned with her condition I called Hospice. The time for their care has not come. Her spirits are strong and we have many kind and loving friends that are praying for us and supporting us in many ways.
I invite your participation in this online forum.
Warm regards,
Watts

well, as a fellow blogger, let me be the first to share.
I first met Jean at a small party here in Florida . The occasion was Trudy's wedding. The fete was in a small bar on the west coast of Florida. I had not met or known about any of my Tom's relatives. although we'd been married for 20 years.
Anyway, we had the pleasure of sitting with you, Charles and Jean.
I knew that Jean was a kindred spirit. She knit! Socks at that. I was at ease with this new part of Tom's life that he never had the chance to share in.
I am so glad that I was able to meet Jean and spent just a tiny bit of time with her.
Thanks for starting this blog!
I too am happy you started this blog Watts. It was weird yesterday, 1/1/08 as I emailed Jean to remind her to send me your address, then within a 1/2hr I recieved the blog invite thru my email, then I wrote you and when the phone rang I KNEW it was you!you called..this all took place within 1 1/2 hours....spoke with you and Jean and then I was up til 3am, reading the blogs, looking at the photos over and over...
peace and love and stength to you, Jean, Elizabeth and Charles.
Hi, my name is Sekile and I met Jean in August of 2006 at UM. Although we've only met face to face once, she has been a joy and inspiration to have in my life. She is not only concerned with her own success but the success of her students and colleagues. I truly appreciate her mentorship as a young academic who mothers. Peace and blessings to your family and thank you for sharing your journey with us!
