The big move west is getting uncomfortably close. I have a lot of loose ends to tie up. We had dinner out tonight with Andrew and Susie, and it is the first of many over the next few days. We went to Mandoo Bar on 32nd Street and it was a great meal. It is a Korean restaurant that specialized in dumplings. One of my favorite foods!
Earlier in the day, we went to have blood drawn, but on the way stopped at Cohen Optical to deal with the glasses that were made in November that had the wrong prescription. I was anticipating trouble with getting them redone. The clerk came back after checking the lenses saying that he would give us a big credit on the new lenses, to which I said, they could either remake the lenses correctly, or issue a full refund. He offered to have the lenses remade. My fear is when the come back, they still won’t be right!
Siobhan came this evening before dinner, and David had a good session with her. Only one more session coming up. We may try to continue with FaceTime. I think it would work.
By the time we got home from dinner (David walked to and from the restaurant) he was ready for bed, so the blog and Gatsby. Maybe tomorrow we will go back to Paris Reborn.
Dear Scott and David, David and Scott,
Your day-by-day journey has been a tale of heroism, courage, fear, and joy — all that makes love the most powerful force in the world. I have watched from the sidelines, full of admiration.
I was glad for my one quick visit because I could picture you and David, the apartment and the neighborhood, where day by day, step by step, David has been getting better.
I hope the move to California goes well. All the love in the world goes with you from me and all who love you both so much.
Keep in touch, please.
Love, Susan
