Diagnosis: Leukemia; April 2, 1988

I woke up at nine o’clock. Alex was playing with Tina. Charlie had given Alex hot cereal for breakfast.

Charlie and Simon went downstairs to fix the cars. Charlie had asked Simon if he could fix the brakes on both cars, Simon is a mechanic.

I made breakfast for Lin, the kids and myself. The kids said they weren’t hungry. Tina and Beau don’t eat very good, they eat a lot of junk food.

Lin was giving Beau chocolate chips cookies for breakfast. She was going to give Alex some but I told her Alex was not allowed to have any. This really seemed to surprise her. Lin said her kids didn’t eat very well so she gave them a lot of junk food.

Charlie and Simon came upstairs, Charlie asked me to make Simon breakfast. After they finished they went back downstairs to do the brakes. Lin seemed a bit annoyed as she wanted to go to Chinatown.

I asked Lin about her sister who had passed away from Cancer when she was sixteen. She said she had cancer in her throat and she went to Singapore for treatment. She stopped going for treatment and she seemed okay but the Cancer came back and shot got a lot worse. Lin said she was till at home when she passed away. Lin had been dating at the time she said she feels guilty that she didn’t spend more time with her sister.

It was good for me to know what kind of Cancer Charlie’s sister had since he didn’t know.

Simon and Charlie finished doing the cars and then they got ready to go to Chinatown. We didn’t go as it was raining so hard.

Later we met them at Shanghai for dinner. Alex really enjoyed his hot and sour soup. Their kids didn’t eat that much, Beau would only eat pork in small strips.

After dinner they went to their friends place and we came home.

Mom phoned not long after we got home. She said they had just gotten home and she wanted to have us over for dinner tomorrow for Alex’s birthday. I said I would bring the cake since Alex wanted a helicopter cake.

We watched TV and went to bed around midnight.
