This is not what Loretta had in mind when she said she wanted to go to dinner in Seattle.  The service is great, the food is okay but the ambiance leaves a lot to be desired.

Would you like oxygen with that sandwich?

On every family vacation we go on, our family recites the the Berenstain Bears “The Bears’ Vacation”.  Hoorray, Hoorray we’re on our way, our summer vacation begins today.  I decided to change the first verse on the way to meet the doctors at Seattle Cancer Care Alliance where I will have treatment.  I texted my sisters (I was on the ferry and not driving) and they chimed in with their verses.  Here is the new version:

Me : Hooray, Hooray we’re on our way, our healing journey begins today.

Diana: So here we are. What a wonderful trip. Let’s go see a doctor and do a back flip.

Claire: I’m all set doc, I’m ready to go, now give me a hit to kill this shit.

Chrisitne: And don’t you worry, if you need a smoke, your big sis will share a toke.  But you are going to do quite well and kick that cancer shit to hell.

It could probably use a little work but you get the picture.  I am so fortunate to have such great sisters.  They will never know how much I love them and appreciate them.
