Diagnosis: Leukemia; June 2, 1989

I woke up at nine o’clock. I had breakfast then I had a shower. Charlie gave Kelly his medicine and took him to the park. Charlie had put fertilizer in the backyard so Kelly can’t go there.

Alex woke up at nine thirty. He said he had to have his shower right now. After Alex had his shower, gotten dressed, I made Alex his breakfast.

We went to White Pine Beach in the morning. There were quite a few people there already. Alex had a lot of fun playing in the sand. He made wholes in the sand and poured water into them. Alex sure made a lot of lakes!

We came home at one o’clock. Alex phoned Patrick after lunch and asked him if he could ride his bike. When Patrick came he didn’t bring his bike. They played inside while I sat outside, Charlie was inside with them.

Charlie left for work at two thirty. I had my snack and wrote in the journal.

Just after four o’clock I heard one of the kids crying. It was Patrick he wanted to go home but Alex wouldn’t open the door so he could leave. I told Alex to open the door and when your friends want to go home you have to let them go. Alex was really mad, he went to run after Patrick. He said he was going to punch Patrick for leaving. Alex was so upset he started to cry, he said he wanted Patrick to stay and play. I tried to make him understand that when someone wants to go home, you have to let them. Maybe they want to see their mother or they just want to go home. Alex was still mad but he calmed down.

I started to cook dinner, we ate at five o’clock. We went to McDonalds, Alex had an ice cream cone and played in the playroom. Then we went to Safeway to buy milk and came home.

We watched tv and I wrote in the journal. Alex went to bed at nine thirty. I wrote in the journal and watched tv. I’m going to bed after I have my snack.
