Hi Journal,Sorry I did not write sooner.  Family came in to celebrate my big 40 birthday.  It was nice they were with me to celebrate this new mile stone in my life.  I have seen a lot of my family in the last six months.  First my wedding to Darrel, then his funeral, then Christmas in Oregon, and now at home in Oceanside with my parents and my dog Noel.  My cousin even came from Chicago whom I had not seen in almost five years.  I was surprised that everyone came to town for my day.  I knew my family would come from San Diego, but I was surprised about my family that also came in from Oregon.  I got to do tourist things for six days.  I even played that new video game WII.  My favorite is tennis which I used to play in college.  Don't play it so much any more now that I have MS.They proved to me that life does go on even after a tragedy and I will continue to get older and my family will always be there for me.Onto the next chapter of my life...yes I still cry from time to time.Until I write again....
