Diagnosis: Leukemia; June 9, 1988

I woke up at eight o’clock, I made breakfast for Alex and myself. I wanted to give Alex a bath, but he didn’t want to have a bath so he had a shower. Alex had skinned his knee and he didn’t want to get it wet. He said it would really hurt.

I got us ready to go to Allison’s, we went there at ten thirty. Alex brought over a story he had told me to write.

Alex and Kurt played in the sandbox. We had to leave right after lunch as Alex had his last Dinosaur class. Allison said we could come back tomorrow since Alex complained he didn’t want to leave.

When we got to the class one of the mothers had made a really nice Dinosaur cake. It looked like it was a professional cake.

When I came to get Alex, Cindy had made the kids a plate with grass, leaves, a rock and a dinosaur.

Alex watched TV when we got home. Allison phoned after four o’clock, Kurt wanted Alex to come over. I had to tell Alex that Kurt wanted him to watch Ghostbusters with him to get him to go.

Mom phoned and said they would be bringing dinner over so not to cook anything. I made a butter cake for dessert.

Charlie phoned, he has to work late tonight.

Mom and Dad arrived at five thirty. Allison brought Alex back shortly afterwards.

We started dinner since we weren’t sure what time Charlie would be home. Charlie arrived back at six o’clock, he had a shower before he joined us for dinner.

Mom and Dad left before seven o’clock. They must have been tired, looking at all the houses. They didn’t like the house on Lost Lake near the corner of West Lake Gate, it was $169,000. They saw the house on Westlake it was $168,000. Then they went to Mara Drive and saw a house they really liked for $178,000, it was a show home. Mom said they put an offer in on it.

Their salesman phoned and spoke to Dad, he told Dad he would put the offer through tomorrow morning. I couldn’t understand that as someone else might put an offer through tonight but I didn’t say anything.

After they left we went to see the house. It’s really nice. When you walk in there’s an entrance way and stairs going up on one side and down on the other. To the left is the living room. Going down the stairs turning to the left is the dining room and to the right off the dining room is the kitchen and family room. The kitchen is really big and so is the family room. Off the family room is the study and beside it is the laundry room and bathroom. Upstairs has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The ensuite is huge it has double sinks, a bathtub and a separate shower. There is also a deck off the family room.

We came home and watched TV. I was going to have a bath but Alex came running after me. He said Don’t leave me, don’t leave me. I need a cuddle, then he started to cry. I sat with him on the bed and held him. I asked him why he had to be around me all the time. He said he didn’t know.

Alex went to bed at eight thirty but he didn’t fall asleep until after nine o’clock. He kept on asking me for a cuddle.

I watched tv and went to bed at ten o’clock.
