Two Hats

Right before church today, Julie, one of Vicky's friends from the ward called. She wanted Vicky to bring an extra hat to church.

It was the sweetest show of solidarity. They sat together in Sacrament meeting with those hats cocked at jaunty angles, and I'm simply positive that all the other women in that meeting were jealous.

Here are some pictures of them...

This chemo cycle has been by far the hardest for Vicky. Only the last two or three days has she felt much up to anything. But today, the sun came out and melted the last of the snow, and there was a warm breeze, and we went for a lovely Forced March with the dogs. We went over to the church and threw Mobi's ball for him for a long time, sitting on the warm grass and watching the sun set over the Great Salt Lake.

Vicky said, "You know, this warm weather gives me hope."

I said, "How so?"

"You know -- that spring will come, and that everything will be okay."

Truly and simply said.
