Diagnosis: Leukemia; March 27, 1988

I woke up a couple of times in the night. I usually do that when I know I have to wake up at a certain time.

I got up at eight o’clock, had breakfast then I had a shower and got dressed.

I did some last minute tiding up, then I set up the table for the party. I started to blow up the balloons to put on the banister. Charlie and Alex finished while I went and rented a movie for the party and bought some film.

Blair, Paul and the kids came around noon. We left shortly afterwards for McDonald’s. We had to wait awhile for them to clean up but we were early.

Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Ryan brought Alain but he didn’t talk to us at all, I found that a bit weird. Marla told Ryan she would take Alain home.

The hostess asked if they could take some pictures of the party for a promo. They said they would give us a 5X7.

We all ordered our food and the kids played at the end of the caboose. After the kids had finished their lunch they went on a tour of the kitchen. The kids went to the playroom for about ten minutes then we came home.

We looked for Blair and Paul but they had disappeared. We decided to go on ahead, we told Holly and Jay to stay by the car. They came back not long after we got back.

Laura, Paul, Andrea and the kids didn’t come back to the house. They said they had to go somewhere else. That really annoyed me, they seem to do this every year. They always have to go somewhere afterwards.

The kids played for awhile. Blair said oh Nancy when she saw all Alex’s toys. I said I know I spoil him. Then I walked away, Marla seemed quite taken back by her comment.

Then I got the birthday cake ready. We sang Happy Birthday and Alex blew out his candles.

At McDonald’s Brent said he didn’t want any cake but when he saw that it was a Ghostbusters’s cake he wanted to eat the head.

After we had our cake Alex opened his presents. Alex got houses from Kurt (Allison); t-shirt and two cars from Kurt (Nora); track for the wooden train from Lanie; rocket hockey, three different types of art design, a bag and bubbles from Brent; yoyo and activity book from Carrie and Robert; Lego and a cassette from Alain; a big truck from Monique (Andrea); and a time jammer and Ducktales puzzle from Blair, Paul, Holly and Jay.

After Alex had opened all his presents Charlie brought up our present. We gave Alex a two wheeler with training wheels. Alex was really happy that he got his BMX bike. The other kids thought it was nice.

I had rented a movie but the kids were more interested in playing. The mothers enjoyed the movie more! I had rented Lady and the Tramp.

Most of them left around four o’clock.

We went out to dinner with Shirley and Monique. Brent had gone with Aaron to a Easter concert.

After dinner we went home, Shirley went home to put Monique to bed.

Alex went to bed before eight o’clock. I tided up the house, it took me a long time to clean up. I also had to take all the toys out of the spare room and get it ready for when Blair, Paul and the kids come tomorrow.

I went to bed around midnight.
