Cyndi from Kerry

[Guest guest]

Cyndi,

My Dad worked for SCE for 30+ years (he was a control operator at

Redondo Beach and El Segundo, union secretary, etc.). I was glad

when you all did your trip to Yosemite and I'm so glad to hear about

your next adventure. Keep on keepin' on! Our whole family had a

great time in Hawaii and on our cruise and when my Mom passed people

just kept commenting on how wonderful it was that we just all did it

instead of talking about it. I had mentioned you in a post a while

back addressed to the difficult position you " caregivers " are in and

how much I as the " patient " appreciate that difficult position. I

wondered where you have been and hoped all was well. Glad to see

you checking in.
