Diagnosis: Leukemia; September 5, 1987

I woke up at nine o’clock. Everyone was already up, Charlie, Blair and Paul were outside. I had breakfast and had to wait for the shower. I was beginning to wonder if I would be having a cold shower. Paul, Holly then Blair had a shower before I could get in.

We had to leave the house at 12:30 p.m. for the wedding. Charlie, Blair and Holly went out at eleven o’clock to buy a few things.

I started getting ready they came back at twelve o’clock. I forgot to hem Alex’s pants, which made Charlie cranky. Charlie decided he would do it so I finished getting ready.

Paul and Jay went to a Soccer Tournament that Jay was playing in. They left at 10:30 a.m.

We finally left at 12:45 p.m., we wondered if we would make it there on time. We got to Mom and Dad’s at 1:20 p.m. Blair pretty well ignored Joan, Mom and Dad. She’s mad at almost everyone except us as far as I know!

Jeff was late about fifteen minutes. It was quite a nice ceremony, Martina and Jeff left and we sat around.

Holly wanted to go to Oakridge, there was a special store she wanted to go to. Blair, Holly and I went there. We came back to Mom and Dad’s at 3:40 p.m., everyone else had left. All of us went up to the reception. It was at Jeff’s place which is Gran’s old house.

Gran and Poppy had always kept the house and the garden so nice. When we got there I couldn’t believe the condition of the house. It seemed like an old run down house. I felt that it wasn’t Gran and Poppy’s house that it was someone else’s. It created some bad feelings.

Jeff made a speech and told everyone to go get their food after the wedding party had gone up. There was a wide variety of food, it was all pretty good.

It was hard keeping an eye on Alex, he was all over the place and the other kids didn’t watch him. Holly came and took Alex after dinner, for awhile which was nice.

I had a terrible headache, a migraine coming on. Too much family tension I believe. I was also tired of running after Alex. We left around eight o’clock, I thanked Martina but I couldn’t find Jeff anywhere.

We came home and I had a bath and took some pills for my headache. After I got dressed I went outside to the deck. Blair, Paul and Jay came back, Holly had come home with us.

We watched TV then we all went to bed around eleven o’clock.
