Mom, I ran into Cathie
October 18, 2009 | Uncategorized
Mom, I ran into Cathie last night at a get together at some of our friends house. She lived in same neighborhood and had same friends. It’s a small world. She asked about you and Dad, she would love to hear from you. her home number is 205.655.1419 and cell is 205.902.0427. she would love also to be able to talk on this website if she could get a user and password? I guess Bill could do that for her?? it was good to see her, we talked about old days

Brenda, I was so happy to hear that you saw Cathie. I think about her and her family a lot. You know, Ben and Maria, and even Crystal knew her children well.
Did she tell you about her oldest daughter, Kirsty?
Cathie E-mailed me almost a year ago and told me that Kirsty, who is about 34 years old now (in between Ben and Maria), was going to have a double mastectomy. The news isn’t good. Kirsty has been through an awful ordeal with all of the chemotherapy, and sickness, and loss of hair, and weakness….but she refused to miss a single day of work (she teaches the second grade at a muslim school). She married a Muslim…a man from Jordan, and she wrapped herself in that religion. anyway. She has been so kind and so sweet and wonderful through all of this horrible pain and sickness. She kept getting sicker and weaker. They ran another MRI, and found nothing. Then another…and finally SEVEN small malignant tumors showed up on her brain. Cathie and Kirsty have always been so close, and it’s just killing Cathie to see her daughter with absolutely no quality of life anymore. Kirsty is just so sick, and in so much pain. She is weak, and enjoys absolutly nothing. She has two small children, ages 2 and 4. It’s just so tragic. They are going to take her out to a clinic in Texas to a Doctor who does (I don’t know how to explain it. Some kind of magnet that is passed over the brain, and will pluck the tumors up off the brain. Very tedius.) It only gives them the tiniest ray of hope.
