Tears of joy falling on the onion rings

Dr. B gave us the official word: Peg's cancer is in remission. She's got two more rounds of chemo, one on Wednesday and one three weeks later... and she's done.

We celebrated by going to Habit, our favorite burger joint. I was hoovering down my cheeseburger and looked up to see my sweet wife, burger halfway to her lips, crying really hard. I started to freak out until she told me she was so happy inside she just couldn't contain herself.

After she had a good long cry I took one of my onion rings and made a little heart shape out of it as a greasy love offering.

Peg's a lot stronger these days. Takes two long walks a day, hardly naps at all. Yesterday she drove herself to get a flu shot and some groceries. It was the four-month anniversary of her surgery... a third of a year. Wow.
