Today I met with Tom Kennedy, the chairman of SFMA and my boss, about my returning to work at least part time. I have worked at the South Florida Manufacturers Association for almost 25 years – I miss it! I want to get my life back to normal. I’m hoping to work at least 2 ½ weeks per month – some of it from home. Stay tuned for the details on this.
Tomorrow is my 63rd birthday! Now, in years past I would never admit to my age. Now, I’m going to be grateful for year I have – striving to my goal of dying laughing on my 93rd birthday. I don’t know why I chose 93 but it seems like long enough. Doesn’t it?
I’m receiving the BEST present for my birthday tomorrow. Hoerbiger Corporation of America has a manufacturing facility in Houston and they are holding a blood drive in my name to replace all the platelets and red blood cells I received while hospitalized at MD Anderson. I’m so grateful to those who are donating blood and those who arranged the donation. Once again, I am humbled by the kindness of strangers who are willing to give of themselves so others can heal. They are giving the “Gift of Life.” Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
SFMA will be holding blood drives in Miami Dade, Broward and Palm Beach Counties shortly if you would like to give the “Gift of Life.” Call Barbara at the office at (954) 941-3558 for details.

ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday June.
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful. It was so nice to see pictures of the family. Nothing like a little one to make you forget your troubles. ( At least for a little while.)
You are always in our prayers.
Keep up the good work!!
Happy Belated Birthday, Happy Belated New Year and Happy Belated Holidays. Steve and I are so happy that you are doing well with your treatments and we pray for your continued recovery. When your blog became available, I read each day from the beginning. You are an amazing women who I think very fondly of. May God continue to watch over you and grant you a FULL recovery so that you can reach your goal for life, 93 years. Terry Tipton

ReplyDeleteI am very happy to hear that things are continuing to go well with you. 93 sounds like a good age to shoot for! Keep going and I hope that you can get back to work soon. I believe I know how much that means to you.
