Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 27, 1988

Alex woke me up before eight o’clock, he wanted to know if there were any show on for him. I told him that the end of Ghostbusters was on. He asked me which channel and went into the living room to watch TV. I feel back to sleep but not for long as Alex wanted to watch Dinosaucers. I got our breakfast and watched TV with Alex.

I had a shower and got dressed. Mom and Dad arrived at nine thirty. They had to go to the Lawyers on North Road and the Real Estate Agent for their house. The Reality was having an open house for other agents so they couldn’t leave Geordie at home. They asked me to look after him while they went to the lawyers. They didn’t have to be at the lawyers until ten thirty. So we sat in the kitchen and talked. I told them Charlie had phoned last night. He said that he didn’t take their phone number with him as he figured that he would remember it. But he didn’t and had to ask the hotel clerk to get it for him. Charlie said he didn’t arrive in Singapore until eleven o’clock at night. So when his father had phoned me he hadn’t arrived yet, he arrived half an hour after his father talked to me. Charlie said he saw his mother in the hospital but she wasn’t awake so she didn’t realize that he was there. The hospital is near the airport, well it’s in the same town which is an hours drive from where they live.

Mom and Dad left for their appointment just after ten o’clock. Geordie was pretty upset but he was okay after I gave him the beef jerky that Dad had left him.

They came back around noon, I invited them to stay for lunch. Alex was pretty silly while they were here, he was running around the house. Mom said he must be full of beans.

They didn’t stay very long, Mom said they had to be home as they were meeting with their agent. After they left Rayon was outside and we talked for awhile. She asked me where Charlie was, I knew that she knew since Allison had told her. So I told her that Charlie had left. She tried to act shocked and said Charlie left you! It was really quite phoney, I guess she figured that I didn’t know that she knew. People sure can act funny. I then explained to her where Charlie had gone, she then told me her husband was going away in August for his holidays. She said she had just finished her holidays. Rayon said it’s good to have the men gone you can’t have them around all the time.

Alex wanted to go into the house to get something to eat. He had something to eat and watched TV and fell asleep. I put him into his bed but he woke up and went back to watching tv. Then about fifteen minutes later he fell asleep so I put him back to bed this time he did fall asleep.

While he was asleep I cleaned the microwave and made Chocolate Brownies. I was about to make dinner but realized that I had run out of butter. I woke Alex up to tell him I was going to the store and if he wanted to come he had better wake up. Alex and I went to Super Valu and came back. By that time it was six thirty and I started to cook dinner. We ate after seven o’clock. We watched tv until ten o’clock. I had put Alex to bed around nine o’clock but he said he was too scared and wanted to sleep with me. We both went to bed.
