To forgive is to join in the chorus of peace emanating from risen Jesus. John.
Hanta Yo. Clear the way.
[Fell on pavement at home July 10, 1989. Broke upper femur. Mercy and Jefferson Hospital. Rosemary's. 3 weeks care. Tom came to bring me to Washington DC (Patsy came with him). Room for me at Tommy's. Still soaking right leg. Went with Patsy to visit Mary H., Frances, and Joan -- met all their children and grandchildren. Liked Harry. Patsy and I disagreed on every subject.)

Luke stood up without help.
December 30
Back to Washington DC previous day. Annie seems to have no apparent cold but Luke still has his. Spent time checking mail. Rose sent me many Christmas cards. Tommy came and later that evening, another great time for Annie, helping to unwrap all the presents. Tom bought Judy a beautiful antique lamp and Judy bought him an unusual (beautiful) floor lamp. Such a festive time! How blessed am I with my children and grandchildren! Tommy gave me a book, Mary Gardens "The Other Side".
December 31
Erin came with her girl friend about 2. New Year came quietly.
January 3, 1990
Victoria came. Luke so happy to see her. Annie went to Ellen's--took her to library for story hour. Tom home from Conn. about 4. Warmer, 30s.
January 4
Rain, freezing in some parts. Noriega surrendered to American forces, taken to Miami to await his trial. Barbara Bush - hospitalized for Grave's disease-radiation treatment on her eyes. Sent all bills I've received from Rose. I miss seeing Rose, family and Katy but am blessed with a good son and daughter Judy. Content.
January 5 - 12
Weather little less bitter cold. Tom and Judy took Luke to Dr. -cold no congestion. 2 days later - both Annie and Luke had infected ears. Sent Kate little note and Christmas present. Sent Rose on Jan 11. Trouble with Mayor Barry and Los Angeles Post (I believe his statements were his, How could a politician be so rude?)
January 15
As day progressed -- after first aspirin--I felt somewhat better. Must remember I'm 85. Luke knows how to get up the stairs. How remarkable a human is! A baby learning all on his own.
