When the docs told me I’d be wrapping up treatment, I just wanted to celebrate with everyone and anyone who would come have a drink with me. I got the wild idea to just say ‘hey, I’ll be hanging out here from 6-10p please stop by so I can give you a big hug.’

It was a little bold – I mean what if no one came? I knew my sis would be there and I figured, worse case scenario, she and I would sit there having some wine and there’s nothing worse case about that. So what could it hurt?

I was beyond delighted by the turnout, the joy, the hugs, the love and support that came pouring into the bar.

Thank you dear sweet family and friends – I love you all!
