Happy New Year!

January 3, 2012

Hello Everyone!

     I enjoyed the holidays with my family with Christmas day celebrated at my parent’s home in Milton with Team Fitzgerald visiting from Philadelphia. It was very busy but wonderful to share it with all and we all enjoyed a delicious Christmas dinner, as well. I enjoyed a very quiet & restful New Years Eve by going to bed by 10pm :)!

     Our Boston winter has been very tame with the only snow happening way back in October around Halloween. Both November and December have been near record warm for Boston so I brace for a nasty January and February. Brrrrrrr!

     Jake is home for 5 weeks on break from UMass and he enjoyed seeing his Philly cousins! He also took a trip with his Brookline and UMass buddies to Montreal for the New Year celebration. He got home safely yesterday with many stories and he even spoke a little French pour moi!

I started home hospice almost 1 month ago with the Hospice of the Good Shepherd of Newton. I have a hospice nurse come by periodically and I get my pain medications from him. The hospice service is to provide me comfort and peace. I like comfort and peace! I received for Christmas two precious gifts I wear daily; a St.Peregrine and a St. Joseph medal on necklaces. I have 2 new friends looking out for me but I can always use a little extra help – please say a prayer for me soon.

I am thinking and living positively!

With much love!
