Diagnosis: Leukemia; December 17, 1988

I woke up before six o’clock, Charlie was already up. I had a shower, got dressed and did my hair. Charlie woke Alex up and helped him to get dressed. Charlie asked Alex if he knew where we were going. Alex said Mama told me it was a surprise.

We left at seven fifteen to go to Eaton’s breakfast with Santa. When we got there, there was a line-up outside. Charlie dropped us off while he parked the car. We waited outside until they finally opened the doors about fifteen minutes. Alex realized when he was the colours that we were going to breakfast with Santa. We were at the beginning of the line up so we were able to pick a good table.

Shirley, Aaron, Brent and Monique past us to go to a table at the back about three or four table behind us. Then while we were starting to eat, Aaron came to talk to us. We really cut the conversation down in hopes he would get the message and leave. It may have been rude but we didn’t want to take any chances.

The breakfast was good, almost too much to eat. They had a lot of characters who came around to every table. We took pictures of Alex with most of them. Then it was time for Santa to arrive. Once Santa had arrived he went to every table.

Brent came down to the stage with his cousin then he came to our table to talked to Alex. I told him to go back to his table that he wasn’t’ suppose to talk to Alex.

As soon as Santa had left we decided to leave as well. It was better that way, to avoid that rush.

We shopped around a bit but Alex said he was tired so we came home. Alex slept all the way home. In the afternoon we all went for a nap. Alex slept the longest, he’s not use to getting up so early.

Mom phoned in the afternoon and invited us for dinner. We watched TV then we went to Mom and Dad’s for dinner.

After dinner we played Stock Ticker. I won much to Charlie’s disgust. We came home at ten o’clock. Charlie went to bed soon after we got home.

Alex and I stayed up and watched TV. We went to bed at eleven thirty. It took me a long time to get Alex to bed.
