Diagnosis: Leukemia; July 4, 1988

I woke up at eight o’clock, I made breakfast for Alex and myself. After breakfast I had a lot of things to do, I invited Mom and Dad over for dinner.

I vacuumed the house washed the bathmats, changed Alex’s sheets, did Alex’s laundry, set the table with Alex’s help and started to prepared the food.

Mom and Dad came at one o’clock and brought another load. They left Geordie with us while they went shopping.

I finished preparing the food then I went to the mall to get Alex a hospital prize. I saw them at the cashier at Woolco but they didn’t see me. By the time I got to the cashier with the toy, they were gone. I stopped at Pharmasave on the way back for batteries. Mom and Dad still weren’t back yet. When they got back they said they had gone to the house.

We ate dinner at six o’clock. Alex complained that he didn’t like the cauliflower, and he wasn’t going to eat it. I told him he wouldn’t get any birthday cake then. Alex had a few bites which was okay with me. I just want him to try it.

When we had the cake Alex sat beside Mom and helped blow out the candles. I had made a birthday cake and iced it with the decorating kit.

Alex gave Mom her present. She seemed quite pleased with the beach towel we had given her. They stayed until eight o’clock.

We cleaned up the house and did the dishes. Charlie was a great helping doing the dishes.

Alex played while we were working. I got him ready for bed at nine o’clock. I watched TV and went to bed at eleven o’clock.
