We checked in today for the battle of, literally, our lives.  The positive wishes and thoughts are truly felt and heard.  It is a scary time, and Morgan is so strong, it’s hard not to be strong for her.  My biggest fear for today, was …

        For Morgan’s last day “out”, we threw together a quick tea with some of her friends at my old haunt, The Bellevue. Fun was had by all, and the girls behaved so well, I may just have to do that again…especially the cocktails …
