Just got back from my trip to North Carolina and was walking Jack and Marina. Spring is here and people have their windows open...amazing the sounds you hear. A grandma that has custody of her teenage granddaughter scream and yell at each other. A Hispanic couple on the other side of the brick wall that separates my condo from the neighborhood of houses nearby are yelling and screaming at each other. Dogs bark and planes are flying overhead. The freeway still has traffic at 9 PM and it's a sound I almost miss.

And then I give my sister with cancer her Interferon injection and hold her in a hug as she's worn out from the battle and crying and wanting desperately for one day of energy, feeling good, and cancer in remission.

Welcome back, Jill....
